Hi peeps,
I am a first year analyst in the world of equity exotics structuring. Its a nice field for a fresher to understand the world of derivatives but I am worried if this job has any long term career prospects, especially when compared to more sought after jobs like equities Sales and trading. Can anyone please guide me on this role? Very few people seem to discuss this here (or anywhere).
Also I would like to know about any exit opportunities out of this role.
TIA.
Hey All, I've been on WSO for a while since my college year, and now I think it's a good time to give back. Background: I graduated from a semi-target school as a Stats major with minor in CS, interned in a BB (S&T), failed to get a return offer, and then luckily ended up in another BB. Currently I'm a second year analyst on a Rates/Currency/Credit derivatives trading desk. I'm pretty open to any questions, and will try my best to answer!
Hey guys,
I was fortunate enough to receive S&T offers from CS (Equity) and GS (Equity & FICC) Sales and Trading.
I am more interested in macro products (hence FICC), but also concerned that GS S&T business has been quite sluggish and therefore FT offer rates might be low. In terms of culture, I think I can fit in both.
Would very much appreciate any input for me to make an informed decision. Thank you!
Hi, I am a junior student at a semi target university. I applied to SA 2020 internship at JPM, GS, MS and CS from late August to earlier September. But I know that for these banks, recruitment is on a rolling basis. Am I too late to even get an interview from them?
Does anyone have some useful textbooks for relevant info in Rates S&T?
Anything along the lines of Macroeconomics/Interest Rates & Bond Math would be great.
Title is pretty self-explanatory. I have a 2020 internship offer from both sides and looking to hear what factors played into your decision for choosing one or the other. Thanks
Hello.
I'm currently interning in PWM at a BB. I'd like to move to S&T or AM next summer. How hard will this be? I recently looked through Outlook and found that I have contact info for everyone at the firm.
My boss already said he'd support me doing this, and can reach out/back me up for this move.
My GPA is really really bad, but I've been working hard, and my current boss likes me quite a bit.
Hey, guys. I am an incoming S&T summer analyst at UBS London. I wish to get a return offer for my summer internship. I am wondering what are the ways to improve my chance of getting a return offer? I have read on other posts about adding values to the desk. However, what are some of the specific ways you can add value? If you were a trader, what would you like see me doing?
Thanks!
I understand that in investment banking, you have a very hierarchal structure in terms of dynamics with other people, and the tasks you're assigned to do, but S&T is more of a flat structure. How much autonomy does this mean you have on each desk, whether it's sales or trading, as an analyst in particular. I understand as a market-making trader, you would have more autonomy as you have to decide which trades to take on and which ones not to in terms of profitability and risk management, but how far does this extent? And how much autonomy do you have as a sales analyst?
