Buyside research vs Institutional sales (Tier 1 AM)
Just about to graduate from a target school, received 1 offer in buyside research (PM Team) and 1 in institutional sales. Both from tier 1 AM and both in Fixed Income.
Hard to make a decision. Personally I don't quite enjoy doing research/staring at BBG all day and I guess I can do fine-ish as a junior but don't expect myself become a really good investment professional down the road. On the other hand I see myself enjoying client-facing and although for the sales role Ill be a internal for the first few years but there are opportunities to face clients.
Should I take the investment role offer first, do for few years then switch to sales as I learn more about the industry? (more exits I guess)
Or should I follow my heart (but seems sales role are seems lesser than a investment role generally)
Base are pretty much the same, no clue on base.
Appreciate any advice on this!
