Input On What This Internship Entails - Derivatives group

I originally posted this in another forum but it was suggested I post here instead, so that is what I'll do.

So I have a summer analyst internship this year at a large bank (though maybe not quite considered a bb.) I have been placed in the Global Markets Division with the Derivatives group. Would this be considered FO or MO S&T? Also does anyone have some sort of idea of what exactly I'll be doing? Finally is there any suggesting reading you might think would be beneficial for this type of role?

Thank you

You could check LinkedIn to try to find people in that group and shoot them an e-mail.
rpc:
Sounds like FO but to be honest my answer is slightly better than a guess.
Beny23:
Seems like it is FO position but I would ask the recruiter.
asiamoney:
Definitely sounds like FO.
jgx101:
FO guaranteed

Can any of you guys comment on what you think the hours will be like for this type of job? Weekends? The firm is comparable to bank of tokyo, nomura, BNP, etc.

do you seriously think that if you give the specific name of the position and the name of the bank someone will find out who you are or sth?

do yourself a favour and ask a more specific question - someone working there might be able to help u

Why does having some anonymity cause such a problem for you? If I wanted a biased answer from someone working there, I'd just e-mail the company itself. Finding neutral answers from people who work in similar roles at any of the other banks seems far more beneficial. It's like asking a first year analyst at a tier 2 bank why they chose this company to work for. Clearly they'll talk it up and give a cookie cutter response, when they know they'd way rather be at GS/MS/JPM.
