MS FID vs GS QIS SA

Greatly appreciate for inputs on the flexibility of career and resources available for these two SA positions.
I come from a technical/quantitative background, non-aggressive personality, and would like to move to the buy-side at some point in the future. But as a fresh graduate, I'm pretty flexible with my options.

Thanks!

 

would you kindly exaplin wtf is QIS or FID fixed income division? quantitative something system? no clue mang

anyway, GS is much better with laterals in general, so if you're concerned with flexibility, go GS after all, conversion to FT rate is very low anyway (this generally applies to all divisions), so chances are you'll have a good opportunity to be freed up to look for other positions after your internship

.
 

Would you mind giving some explanation as to why research/PM over FI? For QIS SA I don't think they recruit specifically for groups, but would QIS be less flexible, as in mostly it is doing quant-related stuff?

Thanks!

 

I'm pretty sure they recruit separately for R/PM vs CPM so you should really find out which group your offer is for. You are quant (QIS R/PM is a natural fit), non-aggressive (you'd never survive in S&T, with the exception of a few groups), and want to be on the buyside (QIS is buyside).
