Help - Consulting to BB Ops?
I'm thinking about making the switch from a small consulting firm to Fixed Income Ops (MO?) (associate level) at a top firm in their Dallas office. I realize this is uncommon, but let me explain.
My current consulting gig is comfy with decent pay. My issue is that A) firm is unheard of and B) The work is very niche (reg reporting for muni's). Both of these things make me fear that the longer I stay, the less exit opportunities I would have. Also there's no culture and just ready for change.
Finished up my last interviews for Ops and discussed pay before a pending offer. (75-80k + bonus and OT - decent for Texas and about the same as my current role)
Last thing - I'm not dead set on wanting FO. Can somebody tell me if I'm going backwards? I'm hoping this would broaden my experience and possible exit opps to either FO or management consulting. Thanks.
I am making the same move for the same reasons, also in Dallas. If you're going to the BB I think you're going to, you should be fine, especially if you're not dead set on FO. Work hard, become the subject matter expert and eventually you can move up within the company/network your way into other groups and potentially other divisions or lateral to a smaller firm
Thanks, best of luck. Operations has an awful rep in this forum and I get it- of the 3 teams I interviewed with one of them did have the BO stench where the work seemed mundane and the people unmotivated, but the other 2 functions seemed more MO and the VPs I spoke to were sharp and excited about the teams they're building here. I'll probably post an update if I get the offer in the coming weeks.
