FICC Derivative Solutions

Can anyone shed some light on this position? Do you think it's a solid role for someone looking to join a hedge fund as a trader/PM down the line? Is this interesting work? Would you say this is more of a structuring role, a sales role, or a mixture of both? What hours/pay can I expect? This is at JPM/GS/MS in NYC. Appreciate any insight!

As a Fixed Income Capital Markets (FICM) Analyst/Associate specializing in derivatives, you would be primarily responsible for analyzing various interest rate and currency risk management solutions for corporate clients through the use of interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, FX forwards, and other options based strategies. As the bridge between the Fixed Income Capital Markets coverage teams and Fixed Income Sales & Trading, you would be formulating and presenting actionable ideas to corporate clients in order to minimize interest rate and currency risk resulting from their capital structure.
