Operations - Ameriprise Financial

All,

I recently accepted an operations position at Ameriprise financial on their trading floor. I know ops is sometimes frowned upon on this site, but I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to what to expect in the role and if I should prep at all prior to my first day?

I come from a non-target school with a sub-par GPA (3.2), so I view this position as a stepping stone. Any help is appreciated!

Hi ImNoBanker, no, I never sleep and so I can respond to any lonely threads (like this one) at all hours of the night. Impressive, I know ;-)

No promises, but sometimes if we mention a user, they will share their wisdom: @zevans02" Mike-Bayles outrageak

Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
