I'll join a BB this summer doing risk management. I'm from an ivy school, very high GPA, not a US citizen, non-finance major. From what I heard, few said anything good about middle office. Should I consider transferring to a front office position? If so, how should I do it in such a way that is effective and not offensive to my risk team?
