Bloomberg Financial Product Sales & Analytics
Can anyone speak from experience on whether this is a good first full-time position? I understand that end-goal is to guide individuals working on the "help desk" into a sales role, but from what I understand working on the help desk can help you build solid connections based on the nature of Bloomberg's clients.
Also, is anyone familiar with the salary level for SF or NYC?
Thanks
I don't know too much about the role but know a few people who have done it. In the beginning, it's a customer-service role. So you're essentially helping end users with the Bloomberg products, like a "product consultant" I suppose. So I would say you're on the phone a lot at this stage, and you must be proficient with the terminal yourself. After a while you get to be part of the sales/relationship management side, where you actually go to clients to pitch product sales and do product demos. I have friends on both sides of the table: the "buy" (IT client implementation) side at the banks and the Bloomberg (vendor) sales side.
I'm not sure about compensation or exit opportunities. I heard of ONE person who ended up in a S&T role at a BB (most likely Sales), but I bet that's rare. I get the impression that most people move up within the company to leadership roles or pursue other product sales roles. If you're interested in going into an actual finance role, I don't think this is something you would want to do. Just my thoughts. One good thing I hear about it is the culture, a management structure that's as flat as it gets the corporate world.
What was the compensation? NYC?
Bloomberg Sales and Analytics - Just offered an internship (Originally Posted: 12/17/2013)
Just got offered an internship for Bloomberg in their Sales and Analytics summer internship program. I still have interviews with BP upstream financial analyst role, Baird's investment banking intern, and Spring recruiting season. Was wondering if I should decline my offer or accept. If I do accept, would this enhance or decline my chances in getting into investment banking or exit opportunity chances. Any advice would help.
Ask Bloomberg help desk

Anyone have any feedback on the Bloomberg Sales & Analytics role? I know you start off on the help desk, but how about further down the line?

Bloomberg Financial Sales & Analytics Program -> IBD/S&T/HF/PE (Originally Posted: 03/22/2010)
I came across this opportunity and was wondering if it would help someone to get into HF/PE/IBD later on down the road. From what I understand first you work on the help desk and answer client questions about using the Bloomberg terminal and then eventually move into sales where you sell the Bloomberg terminal.
I don't think I'm missing anything but wanted to double check and see if this could be a great way to move into the higher-paying and more finance-savvy areas of the industry such as IBD/S&T/HF/PE.
be prepared with a news story you are following - you are expected to know the markets. you may be asked what you like about the role.
Bloomberg L.P. Financial Sales and Analytics Training Program (Originally Posted: 08/03/2011)
Hi everyone.
I have a phone interview with Bloomberg for its Financial Sales and Analytics Training Program coming up and I'm trying to prepare for it. Has anyone had a phone interview with Bloomberg for this program before? If so, how did it go? Was the interview mostly behavioral/fit in nature? Any tips on preparing for it other than being ready for the standard "tell me about yourself" and "why (in this case, Bloomberg)?"
Thanks.

What do you guys know about Bloomberg's Financial Sales and Analytics Program Specifically, what does the job entail, what is the compensation like, and what are the exit opportunities?
Thanks
$24/hr 1.5k stipend. good/bad. take or leave it?
No. It won't help you move into any of those areas without connections. They have free Ramen noodles though...
Double tap help. Haha
i think you should do something else. The pay is good, but i don't think the position will set you up as well as the other 2.
I always thought this was a dead-end job and now my beliefs have been validated.
Did you end up accepting? I imagine the deadline has passed by now for you to accept
