You sound mad defensive over being in operations. Tell flake who hurt you, it's okay.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

No disrespect for anything operation related, I acknowledge how significant this area of finance is especially the funding/collateral management side post 2008.

To answer the HFer_wannabe, my goal is ideally to be on the investment making side. Developing a portfolio strategy, taking risk, diversifying and hedging that risk, generating return, etc.
