internal performance ratings

Does anyone know if employeers ask how you were ranked at your previous job? Is that common at all / would they ask for proof?

I know they might use it within an company if you are trying switch groups, etc. but how common is it for a potential employeer to ask this type of questions?

Thanks

 

That's what reference checks are for. Doesn't matter if you're brilliant at interviews if you don't have good references. Your interviewer will ask references how you compared to others in your class.

 

To be fair though all references will typically say glowing things about you unless you are really underperforming. I'm pretty sure "top analyst" was thrown around in references for every analyst in my banking group

 

So far all the prop shops I have talked to asked me if I trade and on what kind of account. They did not seem to make a big deal about it. They assume everyone who applies to become a trader does it in their free time.

 

Why would this matter? It's not like they're going to call up all of your old employers to ask about you. If you need to put down references, use someone who will say something good. It's not like you have a permanent record or anything, I know plenty of people who were laid off/didn't like their jobs and got something better.

 

Its going to be tough to get a FO because you already have a MO chip off your shoulder.

But the MS might help you to get into FO roles if you network well. But if you do a little digging you will see that some of these programmes mention that even with this degree, breaking into front office will still be difficult.

Why would having a MO position beforehand hurt you? If anything, you're competing with people who have no work experience. Your two years should put you ahead of them.

 

I don't think they will find it out. Maybe, you can have this kind of problem only if you apply to your current bank cause it is not that hard for London HRs to contact HK HRs.

I think the only think you should worry about is to find a good story to tell about your career switch.

I'm grateful that I have two middle fingers, I only wish I had more.
