Trading Surveillance Analyst - Good Start Of A Career In IB/PE?
The heading basically speaks for itself. I'm wondering whether a Trading Surveillance Analyst at Nasdaq would be a good start of my a career for a person that want to end up withing IB or PE. Why/Why not?
Anyone?
What type of career in IB/PE? For BO roles, it may be somewhat marketable, but definitely not for anything FO. You could likely make a move toward a compliance role at a big bank or fund, but even then it may be a stretch. Trading surveillance (especially at the entry level) is essentially just reviewing automated alerts and checking for rule violations. If you move up a bit and get exposure to actual investigations and similar activities, then you may be able to pad it out a bit on the resume, but it's definitely not an ideal role to "end up within IB or PE".
FO is what interests me. Okay let me put it this way then. I don't have any other offers at the moment, I'm waiting for a couple of company's to get back to me the upcoming week, but let's say this is the only offer I have. Would it be smart to take this role to then switch position within Nasdaq or even get an internship this summer? Or should I be job-less and look for other openings.
I'm not sure where you're at in your career, but working at NASDAQ isn't going to give you a clear path toward anything FO. It's certainly better than being unemployed and you could probably spin it decently in networking/interviews, but ultimately it's a path toward BO if anything.
I’m studying towards a M.Sc. in Finance and a Master of Laws (LL.M.) at the same time.
I have had one internship earlier at a smaller domestic bank. Most of my work-experience is basically Treasury-positions. Other than that I don’t have more to come with.
Are you a student or what? Other internships/work exp?
Agree with commenter above though
