Don’t go to b*s small shops be front office. Chances are u can’t jump off as easy as u think + u will be put at worse situation as years go back cos u also can’t qualify for a middle/back office cos your skills quite irrelevant
That’s really insightful! Great to hear realistic comments amongst the trolls.
I’m quite sure that I will be doing support initially. Im quite assured though as it is one of the largest buy side firms.
How can I tell if it is an actual front office role or a glorified back office position?
