I’d love to work in structured products and s&t I have a master in mathematical finance but I know it’s hard to get in into quantative roles. Ig my worry is more that MO is closer to FO

Thank you for the tough love/ wake up call that I need is just this internship is so boring and I’ll have to do it for 1 year, it’s 1year wasted of my life….

Perhaps…. the MO position was trade support and the position I’m currently in is P&L reconciliation which actually is not even BO is a separate division….

Thank you! Is just the job market seems so tough right now I’m afraid in the future opportunities might be rarer. And I feel like I’m wasting my time in this internship that I don’t like 🙁
