Hey guys, I have a relatively important question to ask given my circumstance. I would sincerely appreciate if only 2nd year analysts or individuals with longer career experience would respond...
I was recently contacted by a recruiter at a BB (think Merrill, JPM, GS)regarding potential opportunities within their Asset Management areas. As of the last 3 to 4 weeks, I've been networking at the same BB to segway into their derivative trading areas and I'm confident that if I keep at it, I could get on one of the desks in about 2-3 months. Now...
Although trading is my primary interest, asset mgmt is a close second. (I am very aware that they are two distinct banking disciplines; and I could function in either environment) Do I go for what's potentially on the table if it's a pretty good opportunity in asset mgmt, or do I hold out and gamble on the prospect that I (MIGHT) get on a desk. I'm headed back to school to get my MBA/JD in 2.5 years, so does it really matter? I appreciate the insight everyone, and any clarification that is needed, let me know...
Well a bird in the hand is worth....well you know.
i think given that you are open to/interested in both, i'd go with the AM job. If you love it, stick with it. If not, you can figure out if you want to do the derivs trading or not. be aware, the groups may not be in the same building let alone on the same floor....
Good Advice.
