Operations to FO
to switch to a FO role. After careful considerations I have come to three main ideas.
-
Try to apply Internally (Given I am non-target this will be extremely hard. I am studying to obtain licensing with the hopes this can show initiative + demonstrate knowledge as well as networking like mad with the hopes it works out)
-
MBA (I have not taken the GMAT but have time on my hands. I’m just not sure how hard it would be to get into a T10/15 school with only experience from operations)
-
Rotational Program (I have personally seen people succeed in Development Rotational Programs within banks but don’t know much about them)
Is there anything else I could be doing? Any help is appreciated!
Define yourself. Your in operations now - operations of what? Bank? Hedge Fund? Asset Manager? What type of front office job/firm are you looking for? Not all FO roles are created equal and look for completely different people.
I am a first year operations analyst at a BB (think JPM, MS)
