How to find BO/MO jobs?
There are so many blogs/forums dedicated to IB/consulting, but what about BO/MO jobs?
What are some examples of BO/MO jobs, and how do people find these jobs? i don't even know what to search for on company websites/search engines.
(sorry, i'm a BA econ major and a noob)
Search for "miserable".
craigslist.com
Flake's just having PMS lately because they got rid of his chat/life.
Most recruiters (Robert Half, Sherpa, etc) have plenty of BO/MO jobs in demand. Hell, careerbuilder lists a lot of them as well.
Examples Back Office - Compliance, Ops, etc Middle Office - Some Risk Analyst Positions, etc

I like how BO/MO jobs get so much hate, yet corporate finance positions at f500 really don't. Makes you really wonder about some of the people here.
I think first you need to narrow your search a bit. BO/MO is such a wide array of possible positions that I think you need to research a bit further of what exactly is it that you are trying to get into. I found that to get a good idea of what is what, if you are not too familiar, is to go to the BB websites and take a look at their careers --> divisions websites, they usually do a pretty good job explaining what you would be responsible in a wide variety of positions and include quick interviews/day in life of type write-ups.
Start there, if you still do not have an idea of what you are looking for, or where to look for it, come back and ask a more focused question.
I'm in public accounting and I get probably two calls a week on average for some shitty compliance or internal audit job.
Thanks for all the responses!
With the current job market, I'm not sure whether to settle settle for any finance-related BO/MO job or keep trying for f500 corp finance / FLDP programs.
Out of the types of positions you have mentioned, FLDP would be at the top then f500 corp finance then BO/MO, in my opinion. Some corporate finance jobs may be similar to BO/MO, but it appears the consensus around here is that the f500 corp finance has better exit opportunities. Obviously any sort of leadership development program will be a good step in your career. In the end, remember a job is a job, it's better to have one you don't like than to not have one at all. Good luck finding a position!
I'm not really sure you can generalize like this. It depends on the position you're doing, the company, how structured the program is and a variety of other factors. Companies obviously realize that words like leadership captures the eye of naive college students.
Ex: The Johnson & Johnson finance leadership development program. Consists of two rotations (with little or no say in terms of placement) in accounting type roles. May be great if you're goal is to advance within J&J. Not so much if you're trying to go elsewhere.
Also not really sure where you get the idea that corporate finance at a f500 has better exit opportunities than MO at a BB. Considering the average quality of the applicants for each and the respective selectivity, I'd be quite shocked if this were true (only possible exception might be specific programs known for above average placement like the GE FMP) . This issue is easily resolved though. If you get more than one offer, ask the groups you are considering where the previous few years analysts went after they finished the program.
