Before anyone says anything, I know they are all diffcult to get into which is why I say 'easiest' however I am interested in knowing whether people think there are some departments that are harder to get into than others due to competition, requirements etc
for example at JPM you have Asset Management, finance, IB risk, IB, Sales trading & research and a few others
thoughts?
I suppose back office roles would be the "easiest" to get into. Not sure though, I don't work at a bank.
yeah thats what I assumed.
Im seriously thinking about applying for operations or something similar in MO then doing a very good job for the first 18/24 months, network my ass off and move up from there
... HR? You a hot female?
if only my friend! things would be a lot easier.... or so i hear
PWM -> BO -> FO -> offer (standard track, easiest to hardest)
You can also get creative and try for FO at smaller shops, even if unpaid. These internships give a LOT of leverage towards going directly to FO.
oh wow, didnt know PWM was slow low in the pecking order!
Only thing below PWM would be Retail Banking I suppose... in terms of difficulty, not value.
but with PWM i guess career progression toward the higher positions in IB is vey difficult?
It is almost impossible due to the Chinese wall: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_wall
ah I see, I had never heard of that. that is interested thank you
