When you meet clients, your appearance matter, so front office guys tend to be well dressed and the girls chioer. Front office guys like to talk about stocks, cars and watches. Even if they no car, they will have watch, like rolex those kind of expensive watch. Back office all these stuff don't matter, because no interaction with client, so you wear rolex no one care. So if you love luxury stuff like watches and cars, you should be in front office. If you are the more simple, easily contented type, then back office is for you.
