Just so you know, most banks are shrinking their research team but I assumed you done your due diligence in picking this path. |

[QUOTE=Unregistered;77737]could you elaborate more for a job scope in treasury? is it client facing?[/ You need to find out does your treasury role includes processing settlements ? Cos settlements very troublesome. My one is in corporate treasury. I don't really enjoy cos everyday have to churn bank instruction letters during lunch hour, and then chasing for authorised signatories to approve the fund transfers. And then the letter needs to reach the bank by 4pm. Too operational I don't intend stay long cos this ops role don't suit my personality. I like to talk to people than doing paperwork. but it could be possiblity to transfer dept. Why don't u go join MA Programme? |

Just pick the job you think is more tolerable. Don't kid yourself any of them or that CFA cert you are studying helps in anyway. Hard truth. |

I understand both positions are not relevant to my goal, but job opportunities are hard to come by. If I had to accept one regardless, would my best bet be the Treasury position or compliance? Do people usually return to banks after working in a commodity firm? |

Treasury executive or compliance associate? Hi everyone, I need some help making a decision. I have recently been offered a Treasury exec position in a small commodities trading company, and a compliance associate position in a foreign bank. The Treasury role is focused on payments and settlement/ maintaining and opening of bank accounts/ assisting traders with financing. The compliance role is your standard kyc/aml/due diligence checks. My ultimate goal is to break into equity research (currently doing CFA Level II). I'm having difficulty deciding which offer to accept. The Treasury role seems more interesting as it's in the commodities industry, but it does seem like it could be quite administrative with settlements and account openings. The compliance job is within a bank, where I could do some networking and eventually transfer to a research role, but it is a 1-yr contract role with no job security. Please give me your opinions on which position is more suitable! |
