Is It Possible To Transfer To More Front Office Role At BB After Back/Middle Office Analyst Program?
I was pretty late with my internship search (100% my own fault) and missed a lot of application deadlines at banks but was lucky to apply in time for a few BB. I come from a college narrowly outside of the T50 so I would not consider it a target school for the BB and applied for Fund Services at...
State Street IMS - Irvine Derivatives / Collateral Management Question
Hello all, I'm applying for a Derivatives operations/collateral management 2 role in State Street IMS based in Irvine, CA. Can anyone speak for the derivatives/collateral management department in State Street IMS? Is it heavy client services/on the phone or is it mostly screen time/excel? Also, can...
Senior Operations Analyst BB vs Entry Level Consultant (Data)
I know we are all sick of seeing posts about exit opps to move to FO , S&T , and IB but I am in a pickle... I currently have an offer from a BB as an Operations Analyst mainly working with derivative products. I know that exit opps to FO are slim but I believe that they would put me on more project...
How much can you really earn in BO and MO
I don't work in BO / MO... interested to know, how much can you really earn? Seems like a few posters have talked about how mind dumbing the job is. Others have said that you get a lot of time off and flexibility (is this true). Interested to know, What BO /MO etc opportunities are the best for...
Ops Life... When should I plan my move? (back office)
Long story short, Ops is not where I want to be long-term. I have friends that really enjoy what they do (NY Metro and outside of it), but my experience hasn’t been the greatest. Everything seems extremely inefficient with what I’ve been a part of so far. Without going too far into it, there...

Freshman back office internship?

One of my relatives got me an interview next week with what I think is a BO group at a high frequency trading hedge fund. If I aim to go into IB or even consulting down the line, would this internship be...
Career Path for the Back Road
Just curious if there's the opportunity for the same kind of exit opps and the like for BO and MO people? Obviously not in terms of pay, but do MO or BO people move from a BB after a few years to a PE or HF ever (and get paid more)? I gotta imagine the skills of Risk, Finance, and in some cases, Ops...
What are the chances?
So I was talking to a friend's friend last Friday during happy hour. He's a trader at one of the top HF and his firm just promoted a newbie from BO to a junior trader on his desk. The newbie is from a semi-target, he's obviously smart, but this is just incredibly lucky. What do you guys think? How...

For example: Credit Risk Analyst @ a mortgage firm Underwriter @ an insurance company (if you consider this a finance job) Financial Analyst @ a manufacturing firm The reason I ask is, it seems as if everyone here is hell bent on getting...
