My Story - From Back Office to Capital Markets Analyst in London
Hey there monkeys!
If you've ever felt like you are not where you want to be or can´t get there, trust me, you're not alone...
Today, I'm here to share my inspiring story – how I moved up the ranks from a Back Office newbie into a Debt Capital Markets (DCM) Analyst right in the heart of London
Buckle up, this one is one of my best:
Chapter 1: Embracing the Back Office
Picture this: I started my career in the Back Office. Yep, I was the behind-the-scenes guru, making sure all the financial gears were turning smoothly. It was a solid start, but deep down, I knew I wanted more. I craved that front-row seat where the real action happened – the Front Office
Chapter 2: The Spark of Ambition
My eureka moment? It hit me like a lightning bolt. I realised that my Back Office experience was my launchpad, not my anchor. I saw the intricate dance between the Back Office and Front Office, the critical link that made the financial world tick. My ambition was ignited, and I was ready to take on the challenge
Chapter 3: The Leap of Faith
London, baby! That's where I set my sights. I knew the path wouldn't be a walk in the park, but I was determined to leave my mark in the financial capital of the world. Armed with unwavering determination, I took the leap of faith and got a Middle Office role at a bulge bracket by leveraging my BO experience
Chapter 4: Navigating the Transition
The transition wasn't all smooth sailing. The learning curve was steeper than I thought, nevertheless I continued to grind day in day out and let seniors notice. I embraced every challenge, soaked in every lesson, and emerged stronger each day.
Chapter 5: Thriving in DCM
Fast forward, I got an internship in DCM from another bank by once again, leveraging my experience and showing my hunger. 6 months in I had a full-time offer. The Back Office background that once seemed like a detour turned out to be the driving force that propeled my success.
My Message to You
If my story teaches you anything, it's this: Embrace every twist and turn in your career journey and never quit. Your path is uniquely yours, and every experience, no matter how unconventional, contributes to your growth. Leverage that experience and craft your story. So if you're in the Back Office, dreaming of front office, remember this – work hard, have passion and keep applying - it will be worth it
