Would it be weird to email my new boss asking for ways to prep for my new role?
Just accepted an offer as a fixed income research analyst at a small-ish bank. My previous work experience is somewhat fixed income related but not at all credit research / trading related. The new role will have me trading corp and muni bonds for UHNW portfolios and doing research on issuers.
Would it be weird for me to email my new boss asking for any reading material/ways to prep for my new role?
edit: should add that i'll be at my current role until the end of the month
If you have to ask, it might. I think it looks good and shows initiative, but maybe it was something you could've asked when you got the phone call or had the meeting to accept your offer? Kinda dependent on the personality of your boss I feel like.
Yeah this was my concern as well, I don't want to make it seem like I'm not qualified for the job all of a sudden
Don't. Show up eager. Don't look like a try hard before you step foot in the office. Also, find your own reading material.
I've never had a job where my bosses don't give me material to review before starting. I don't think it would hurt to ask if there is anything you should go over or familiarize yourself with before you start the role. If you're uncomfortable asking the boss, maybe ask a coworker if you know one.
Also, sounds like a fun job! I too work with UHNW clients and have learned a ton about munis and munis closed end funds. Congrats!
you accepted an offer, don’t give them a reason to rescind it. also, read shit.
