Interested in science (bio and electronics) but incompatible with BB strength?
I'm going to start in Lehman full time next year and am generally and genuinely interested in technology (electronic stuff) as well as science (biotech stuff). Unfortunately, I've heard that Lehman's technology group is terrible and healthcare...well, not terrible, but the hours could not be worse. How important is it to be genuinely interested in the industry your group covers, or should the general finance lessons I take away (as well as exit ops) be the main thing to take away? Thanks.
its a little late for these issues considering you start in a few months
How's that? I am not saying that I want to work in pharma/biotech or electronic companies right now. I can still decide what group I want to be in. Those just happen to be 2 interests of mine but are certainly not requirements
IMO, it would help if you're actually interested in the industry. That way, you'd actually enjoy following the news, and it'd probably make your job a little more exciting. I think the general finance lessons you'll learn will not vary much from group to group, so it's better to work in a group you'd actually enjoy, especially when you're up at 3 in the morning working on a project.
I think that it really helps if you have an interest. you don't need to be proficient or knowledgeable in the industry. like someone said above, if you're working on a project late at night and you don't have an interest, it sucks.
the great part about being pared with an industry you have interest in, is that it can become something you're pared with for a long time, so if you choose.
i know people from the early 1990s who worked at MS's energy power and group and now they're running divisions at some large public power utilities.
join a product group if there is no industry that you like
