S&T vs DCM
Hey guys, 1st post on this but long time reader, facing a bit of a dilema. Currently doing a summer in FIG DCM at a BB and liking it but am torn between DCM and Sales. I've always kind of had my eyes on Sales but DCM was kind of offered it on a plate this summer so took it for expereince and CV, but I don't know which to apply for this year. Bit of background: 3 As A-level, 1st Economics and doing a MSc Finance & Investment this year internship Henderson Global Investors. Have read loads around it but just wondering what your views were:
SALES vs DCM Out the office by 7 (with exceptions of client wining and dining) vs 10pm earliest. Client interaction early on in career vs menial excel shit from MD and the everyone else. Fast paced enviroment with rapid career progression. Possible ex opps HF/ relationship banking etc vs stuck in DCM. Limited job security relative to DCM plus with increased regulation possibility of less recruitment in S&T.
Cheers
Also what are your thoughts on applying for internship again with hope of offer afterwards or going for grad scheme?
dcm is way better
Getting 3A's at A level isn't really spectacular. Try getting six (I somehow pulled it off). Where did you complete your undergrad? I presume you're enrolled in the part-time Masters @ City U.
I'd go for DCM. Congratulations on your offers.
Uhh. Go for sales. I worked in DCM and it sucks phat ass. All you do is pump out pitches. Late evenings and work on the weekends. Take sales man. The only time you're working late is when you schmoozing with clients.
