Couldn't get FO SA role in my second (of three years) year in uni at a UK Target.. but got a BO, what now?
Basically I messed up my interviews and failed to get something FO this year. I managed to get a CADP position at JPM but if my eventual goal is to get an FO role, am I screwed? Will this be a good stepping stone for me?
what is CADP?
Corporate analyst development program, basically things like risk, analytics, project management, etc.
Do you have another offer? What are the choices here? Take this internship vs no internship at all? I think the answer is pretty clear if that's the case.
No other offers, just waiting on an SA gig at Citi for retail banking though
I suppose it'll come down to take the offer vs not to but i'm worried that if I take the offer i'd be pigeonholing myself into this line of work for the future
Relevant experience >> Not relevant work experience >>>>> No experience at all.
What would you do during the summer if you don't take this gig? If you plan to volunteer or build a biz or whatever then we can discuss that but if this is a choice between taking this job vs no job at all... Well i recommend taking the job.
Corp dev stuff is not terrible and you can definitely spin that in a positive way. Retail banking at Citi = no no and i assume that is not in London/UK.
What makes Citi a nono, just curious? Unfortunately neither of the positions are for the London office this time round.
If I didn't do this gig i'd probably just spend the summer wasting my time working part time in restaurants and bars I suppose..
because it's retail banking...
i'm not trying to be rude but do you know what you want to do and WHY or do you just want any FO role because it sounds cool and you think you'll make more $?
Honestly my biggest motivator for the FO role is the respect it seems to get as compared to MO/BO, the higher salary and also more opportunities for exit ops.. red flags I know but i'm just being honest :/
