Bloomberg Financial Product Sales & Analytics

Can anyone speak from experience on whether this is a good first full-time position? I understand that end-goal is to guide individuals working on the "help desk" into a sales role, but from what I understand working on the help desk can help you build solid connections based on the nature of Bloomberg's clients.

Also, is anyone familiar with the salary level for SF or NYC?

Thanks

I don't know too much about the role but know a few people who have done it. In the beginning, it's a customer-service role. So you're essentially helping end users with the Bloomberg products, like a "product consultant" I suppose. So I would say you're on the phone a lot at this stage, and you must be proficient with the terminal yourself. After a while you get to be part of the sales/relationship management side, where you actually go to clients to pitch product sales and do product demos. I have friends on both sides of the table: the "buy" (IT client implementation) side at the banks and the Bloomberg (vendor) sales side.

I'm not sure about compensation or exit opportunities. I heard of ONE person who ended up in a S&T role at a BB (most likely Sales), but I bet that's rare. I get the impression that most people move up within the company to leadership roles or pursue other product sales roles. If you're interested in going into an actual finance role, I don't think this is something you would want to do. Just my thoughts. One good thing I hear about it is the culture, a management structure that's as flat as it gets the corporate world.
