I'm contemplating a move from Operations to Risk Management between two Bulge Bracket Firms. I've been working a year and a half and will finish my MSF program in 4 months. Ops really isn't the place for me, but trying to jump into a front office role is fairly impossible given the current employment market. Is a move to Risk Management a move in the right direction or would I just be treading water?

Risk management is a better place to be than ops.
Lot of brilliant people there, depending on the firm.
At the really big banks, you'll find in-house FO risk management groups who get paid under the S&T P&Ls but are there to help with risk strategy and to also deal with MO Risk when the traders think they're being irrational.
Thats reassuring, the opportunity would be an associate position at JPM. From what I know, internally, Risk there is treated more like FO than at other firms. Anything sounds better than Ops at this point.
I have two or three more years of gray hair than you, so I may as well share my experience: the grass is greener on the other side. Also, there is a reason you get paid to work. If it were fun, they wouldn't have to pay people to do it.
