conflict of interest

My dad works in credit risk at WF and through networking i will most likely be getting an interview for IB at WF and want to work in the financial sponsors group. my dad works closely with people in FSG and a few people have brought up the possibility for a conflict of interest. do people who work in these fields think that a conflict of interest could arise and I wouldn't be able to work in the FSG at WF or have seen it come up before? I'm really interested in this group and my best bet is with WF b/c of the connections I have made there. Thoughts?

Your dad might have a good idea if he works for the company...

lol, and instead of talking about this with your dad you are going to ask a bunch of ignorant sophomores on WSO about this. come on mcfly. ask them something they think they understand, like "what is more prestigious? GS TMT or BX LBO?"
