Big 4 HF Front-office IT trying for Research/Trading roles
Looking for some career advise on switching from Front-office IT to Trading/Research.
A bit of background.
I'm currently at a big 4 macro HF in a Front-office role in NYC. My job is not typical IT but more of data science oriented stuff and not doing any IT work per se. I graduated from an Ivy with a CS degree and this is my first job (2 years in). I'm looking to move to a more finance related position - Trading or Research Analyst.
I'd like to know what are my best options:
-
Try transferring internally (looks tough as all Research Analysts have significant experience and come from a BB after doing their stint)
-
Goto a BB as a Trader (?)
-
Goto a BB as a Sellside Analyst (?)
Please help.
Hey PurpleSky, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot and I'm here since nobody responded to your thread! Bummer...could just be time of day or unlucky (or the question/topci is too vague or too specific). Maybe one of these topics will help:
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.
