What kind of entry-level front office roles are there? I ask this as so far all the junior/asst RM roles or other related roles i've come across require around 2/3 years of exp.

RM for the usual corporate and consumer banking is just a low level sales & customer service job struggling to meet monthly kpi. It's no better than ops in terms of progression and pay.
It is just as mundane and exciting as any other job. Time to adjust your expectations to the real world and stop thinking about short cuts to an adventure, a job is to make a living, being passionate or excited about it is a bonus not a normal thing.
Those "real" FO jobs that you guys in banking keep thinking of belongs to only a very small niche and if you can even get in the 1st place won't be working at ops already.
