S&T: Which sales desk(s) would you choose?
If you were looking into sales for your career at an investment bank, which sales desk(s) would you choose?
What prospect do you think the desk of your choice has for the future? What about the desk attracts you the most?
Just wanted to know your opinions.
I personally am attracted to FX derivatives desk.
Rates. Anything that is largely driven by macroeconomic events, anything fixed income at least. Being an equity salesman sounds awful to me, but that's just my opinion.
agree with bb on this one. i sit behind a couple of guys who do cds sales. they get a heck load of business
bulge_bracket, nauprillion, don't you guys think the downward spiraling rates desk may limit sales opp in the future, though?
Also, would you guys see FX derivatives (particularly options and swap) pretty much similar to Fixed Income in terms of sales roles?
Equities in Dallas.
Liar's Poker?
impressive detective work
As I talk to more and more people in S&T, I'm learning to not have any preconceptions about any product.
Winding up in an interest rate derivatives desk that covers small clients might not be as fun as tier one institutional equity sales in certain circumstances. Try your best to reach out and find out for yourself.
Downward spiraling rates desk? I'm pretty sure the world's not going to run out of government debt anytime soon. Deleveraging at the sovereign level doesn't seem to be happening particularly quickly either.
It's actually increasing thanks to countries outside the EU/US. But yeah, 100% with you, I don't get the point he was trying to make.
I like Brazilian Rosewood. Great density, nice wide grains
Embarrassed to admit it took me a few seconds to figure out what you were talking about. Well played.
You know what, I still don't get it! Am I the only person not getting this here?
For God's sake I hope you are.
