Career Advice

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent graduate and am looking for some career advice. I graduated from a semi-target school with a 3.95 GPA in finance. Right now, I'm in a temp role at a bulge bracket bank (Goldman Sachs/JPMorgan type) and am mostly working on regulatory capital reporting (CCAR/Basel III, etc...).  I'm interested in possibly making a jump into risk management (as an analyst) after my temp role ends, but I'm not really sure it's feasible given my current back-office position and with limited internship experience besides that. My other option would be to go to an MBA or Computer science program (I do have some coding experience and am interested in quant-so CS school is my backup option). If anyone has input on my situation it'd be greatly appreciated- would it be feasible to make the jump and what can I do besides networking to help me get there or focus on more school? Also how is the experience in regulatory reporting viewed by firms in general?

Thanks so much
