Hi, I've always been good at and enjoy math, and am looking into careers which use a lot of it. Engineering and actuarial are careers that everybody always suggests, but I hate science(rules out Engineering) and being an actuary sounds very monotonous and boring. I would also like to deal with clients.
Ibanking interests me, and I am wondering what are the front office jobs within an IB that use the most math?

Any job title with "Quant" in it requires a lot of math. Structured products are math-heavy as well.
Okay thanks, I have a few more (possibly dumb) questions. Are there desks that underwrite structured products? What kind of math would one use when working with structured products? What is an example of a structured product? Do quants deal with clients much?
I've got the perfect role for you
-client interaction -good use of math -structured products
Derivatives Structurer
Come over to the trading forum though, I think that's where your questions would be well received.
An example of a structured product is found at the following link: http://www.hsbcnet.com/treasury/structured-products/ca/fxlinked/hsbc1fx…

Okay thanks a lot. Derivatives structuring sounds really interesting. What is the typical education level for someone in that role? Do you enter into the usual analyst role after undergrad?
