Q&A: Traditional AM (+back office to front office)
Hi all,
Short bio:
- Started out in Sell-side risk (back office) in Canada, really wanted to break into IB but couldn't - worked roughly 4 years
- Moved to buy-side ops (back office) in Canada coding and making lives of PMs and analysts better - worked a little over 1 year
- Posting came up in US equities team in US, a team a used to work a lot with and made cool tools for, reached out to PM and skipped through a lot of formal process but had interviews with 3 PMs in the team
- Currently relocated and working as an analyst specializing in energy, materials, real estate (YOE +1) while coding for the head PM to make proprietary macro / company analysis
As me anything, I'm not a seasoned professional as most other are on here but I try my best to answer, if not defer to a more experienced folks on the forum.
Thanks!
