Career advice - Retailing Banking vs Back office (AM)
I'm looking for new perspectives into which role I should take if my end goal is a front office position in IB/HF/PE/VC/AM
Quick Summary:
Graduated with a mathematics degree in 2020, CFA level III candidate.
2 years retail banking experience (credit analyst) assessing residential loan applications, been offered a back office role in operations for a middle market alternative investment firm specialising in PE, VC & Credit.
I'm been having troubles landing any FO jobs so I'm leaning towards taking the back office role as it would provide valuable insights in the investment management space and I can hopefully leverage 'some' of the skill and knowledge going forward.
Pros of current role: Higher pay + bonus structure, work life balance.
Cons of current role: Unchallenging, skills aren't really transferrable
Pros of new role: Gain exposure to the investment space, develop holistic views of fund accounting etc and hopefully transfer those skills to FO roles.
Given my current situtation, should I consider taking the back office position or does staying in a 'front' office retail bank provide more value if my long term goal is in IB/HF/PE/VC/AM.
Thanks
