I'm an undergrad about to graduate(very non target) and would this be a good fit for someone who wants to break in to AM one day.
I could be wrong but sounds like a middle office role to me. Not sure on the AM side though
Any position title or department listed? I can't imagine this is the only information provided.
the job title is "Data Analyst" and there is also a part time position where you work 4:30 - 8:00PM.
And the firm mainly deals with fixed income asset adminstration
bump
Yes, its back office. No, it will not help you break into AM. Keep looking, you still have time to land something before you graduate. Try boutique AM shops, I've had pretty good success with those.
The job you described is trade reconciliation. That is squarely back office.
would you guys recommend taking up the part time position?
i know it sounds desperate but im a PWM intern right now and im finding it really hard to find a proper analyst/associate job
If you have to ask, it's usually back office.
