Not broker Work on product side. Sourcing, improving, due diligence, sales, competitive analysis etc... It also breaks down to what you're doing within each group: ie: In Alt Inv, you could be in: reporting, due diligence, sales, operations, administration etc...Every dept has sub groups.

 

I dont know how bofaml is broken down nowadays. The umbrella GIS is NOT ops. However, within GIS you will have ops divisions like I mentioned above. It all depends on where you get placed.

Why do you need to get trained? Do you already know the systems? the people etc..

 

S&T maybe.. if you are placed in client sales group...

Signs of Recession: Banker: “Where’s me Bonus?” Yuppie: “Whadya mean I have to actually work?” Fox Rock Mum: “Lidl’s the place to be seen in now!” Cowen: “It’s not my fault that me and my party are complete f**k-ups - it’s the recession silly!”
