Career Paths in Treasury

Hi all,

So I landed a job within the Treasury department of a bank at the Collateral Management desk (part of Securities Finance) and I was wondering what some typical career paths could look like for people working in Treasury.

Do people rotate across different desks (e.g.: Short-Term Funding, Long-Term Funding, Balance Sheet Management etc.) or do they rather specialize within a certain field?

Is working in Treasury suitable as a long-term career or do people often move out after a few years? In case of the latter, what type of jobs do people with a Treasury background move to?

Thanks!

I've read on here that TS is a good (but not easy) way to transfer into IBD. I say not easy because if you didn't start in IBD to begin with then you're gonna have a difficult time moving into it. I'll be starting as a SA at a BB this summer and TS is one of the segments available to be placed in. SB's for anyone with more information on TS and its exit ops!!!
