GS temp BO vs 2nd-tier perm MO

Hi guys,

I am located in Hong Kong and am struggling between two offers. Any thoughts if my largest concern is about the exit/long-term growth?

1. Goldman Sachs temp in stock loan settlement with "a possibility" to go perm
2. 2nd-tier French ibank perm in fixed income MO

Thanks loads!

What? Who cares about the name of the bank. MO > BO, Perm > Temp.

MO vs BO is a meaningless distinction. There is client facing and non client facing. Some non client facing is better than others but there is no MO/BO divide. It's about the job.

OP I think we'd need more info on what you are actually doing in the second job. For GS that's an operations function. Essentially you are just reconciling the trade is reported correctly. You aren't even doing the controlling function and working with the traders on their risk management. It's not good work and isn't something that will give you relevant finance skills. I'd only take it if the plan was b school and you wanted to leverage the name (and the other options are not good).
