Accepted a BO position at a BB... DID I MAKE A MISTAKE?
Greetings All,
I'm currently a senior at a non-target and just accepted a full-time back office position at a top BB. I interned with the same group this summer, and enjoyed working with everyone. But the work was very very boring. I was advised by numerous people to accept the offer and work my ass off to move internally. That's what I plan to do, but I'm starting to feel as if I settled instead of applying for better positions elsewhere.
What my fellow monkeys think?
Moving from BO to FO is unrealistic. Keep looking around for better opportunities. Accept the offer if it is your only option.
Yeah but if you can't just take the paycheck and try to find a job with better FO prospects in the first year, like if you can land a trading assistant gig where they say there's opportunity to advance (not all do).
Realistically, you would have probably struggled to get a better gig any way. Leverage the experience and start applying externally in about 6-12 months. Internal movement will be hard if it is a BB.
