should I take this job
Hi WSO,
I just got a interview for a call centre position at the brokerage division of a Canadian <abbr title="bulge bracket">BB</abbr>. My plan is to get the job and use this role to progress into S&T of the same bank through internal recruiting.
Would it be possible to progress from a calling centre role to S&T provided I obtain the recognized designations? or would taking the job in Calling centre lead to a dead end and/or away from institutional banking and more into retail?
Did you already get the job or are you in the process? It would depend on many factors like your credentials, the people in the company.
I know a trader who began in customer service, then worked in a BB S&T role on the sales side, then small HF and now works at a prominent global macro hedge fund. This process took him 5 years.
Are you describing yourself here?
I wish.
i am in the process of getting the job, my end goal is S&T, and since the current job has a very lengthy application process, I am wondering if I would put up with it if it doesn't lead to desired career progression, but I would love to work that the BB i am currently apply for and if doing this would lead me to the S&T, i would do it any day
It never hurts....best way to get through is once you get inside and start...Network, Network, Network.
