LevFin Mid/Front office?
Hello, During the job interview at a major bank I thought the missions would be front office with some risk management but I’m afraid it’s mainly LevFin middle office and maybe some front office tasks. I’m really confused because we talked about front office tasks but it seems my manager is going to be a middle officer. It’s my latest internship before graduating from a mid-target uni. Not top target but not unknown. Is there a way to get a full time position in M&A front or S&T front? (I couldn’t get an internship in S&T I just couldn’t pass the screenings.) They told me previous interns joined firms as M&A/PE analysts. What do you think I should do?

i dont understand what you wrote here.
I'm assuming English is your second language which is no problem, most of us can only speak 1 language - can you clarify what the position is? market risk management, liquidity risk, operational risk, credit risk (assuming it's this one), etc.
if it's the best offer you have then take it
Thanks guys for your answers. Indeed English isn’t my first language but I won’t be working in an English speaking country or speaking English, so I guess that’s fine.
To clarify my questions:
1/Is joining a local bank for a 12 months internship in a LevFin Middle Office (Risk Management, Portfolio management whatever it means?) a good opportunity ?
2/ Tbh I thought it would be a front office position so I’m a little disappointed but I guess I’ll also do some front office related tasks. Is that kind of job still interesting?
3/During the interview I was told the previous interns joined firms in M&A or PE. Do you think I can leverage this position to get a full time position at the end of my internship in a M&A/PE/S&T front office position? Or I’ll be stuck forever in middle office :(
I was hoping to join a firm in a S&T related position but had no previous internships in link with that field so just couldn’t do it. Do you think I still will have opportunities to get a position as a Sales or Trader?
Thanks
You want to do S&T but you applied for lev fin investment banking??????? you are all over the place. set a goal and achieve it
