I mean, I have spent the past 2-3years applying for front office roles. I am european undergrad from a top uni in my country that is yet not a major one in Europe. I shot some attempts at bb banks in London etc, but some with the current job market and economy, some with the fact that I had never stepped into banking/financial firms before their replies were standard: "we liked your profile....bla bla....but due to high calibre standard of applicants....bla bla....we are sorry". My reasoning was: better start somewhere than not starting at all. My plan is to complete this year-long commitment at that fund and then go on for a master of science, which is quite common in Europe. in the meantime, I thought that working within the field may be good to build a network, which might prove useful later on. Any suggestion or piece of advice? Right, that is exactly ii. I mean, I have spent the past 2-3years applying for front office roles.
