Been on the buyside for ages and trying to help a relative getting into an investment bank. What roles/businesses are left in equities? There is sales, research, what other roles, especially ones where people take on risk?
Thank you

But yeah you're not really going to get around that in equities. If your relative really wants to trade, tell him to go to the buyside.
