 <title>Best/Worst division to work in finance</title>
 <link>http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/bestworst-division-to-work-in-finance</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;Hey guys, I&#039;m a budding propective candidate to jump into the financial world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From experience and hearsay, which division do you guys think is the worst or most boring to work in finance? Likewise, which do you think is the best division?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;From my impression so far, I receive IBD is most popular and operations is the most boring. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess below is a list of factors to be taken into consideration (although some may be mutually exclusive):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-pay&lt;br /&gt;
-bonus&lt;br /&gt;
-benefits&lt;br /&gt;
-staff turnover (the fewer the better I guess)&lt;br /&gt;
-career development (promotional opportunities)&lt;br /&gt;
-degree of responsibilities therefore the range of self-exposure to the seniors and bosses&lt;br /&gt;
-creativity involved/ intellectual learning vs repetitive work but not intellectually demanding (whichever you prefer)&lt;br /&gt;
-life/work balance&lt;br /&gt;
-travelling opportunities to major capital cities in the world&lt;br /&gt;
-# of qualifications required (CFA, series tests,etc)-amount of extra input outside workhours.&lt;/p&gt;
