Exits from Market Risk at VP level?
Asking for an immigrant friend who finally got permanent residency and is now more comfortable exploring the job market after staying in his position for 6+ years since he no longer needs employer sponsorship to stay in the country. Honestly, hearing this made me sympathetic to the plight of H-1Bs and thankful for my own citizenship, so I really want to help him out.
He is an early 30s VP in Market Risk at a top BB Bank (GS/MS/JPM) with an Ivy-league masters degree in a STEM subject and wants to eventually move to a non-quant front-office role, possibly on the buyside (though this may take more than one jump). He has expressed some interest in trading/investment research. Is this possible at this stage in his career? If so, what path should he target?
I’m just a small-brain sector fundamental analyst so idk what you geniuses on the markets/trading/macro side do. Help & thoughts appreciated.
