Treasury vs Credit Analyst
I am trying to decide between 2 offers, a Treasury Analyst role at an IB or a Credit Analyst at one of the major Credit Rating Agencies. Does anyone have any insight on what career path will lead to better Exit Ops? Personally I believe Credit will since you be involved with Financial Statements and an understanding of a sector.
I would take the credit analyst job as it leads to better exit ops. Your understanding in correct. It really depends on your long-term goal. If you want to invest in the long-run, take the credit analyst role and do the following things: - network - work on your investment pitches (credit, distressed, equity, doesn't matter really, as long as it's well thought out) - study for the CFA exams (doesn't really add knowledge, but shows commitment to the Asset Management industry)
I have worked at a rating agency. Don't stay there for too long. Never forget that the work ethic and intelligence required to thrive on the real Wall Street, whether it's investment bank or hedge fund, is much more than what's expected of you at the rating agency. Will you be joining a corporate group? (as you will be analyzing debt of corporations)

Credit Analyst or Treasury? (Originally Posted: 02/07/2013)
So I already have my bachelors in a business discipline and I work for a bank in a call center. My manager and others are pretty much clueless about most of the opps outside of the call center. I'm looking at the description for both Credit and Treasury Analysts, which require a financial background. I don't really have one, but I am pretty much over working this basic job everyday. I really do want to go back to school, but at the same time, I want to make sure I am qualified to get those positions before I do so. Any tips? Should I go back for a Masters? I feel like I may be over or perhaps under qualified for jobs at that point.
