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 is really insightful! Glad to see helpful comments amongst the trolls.
Quite sure that I will be doing mainly support initially. Still I am quite assured as it is one of the biggest buy side firms around.
How can I tell if it is an actual front office role or a glorified back office position?
