Have to constantly chase up jobs that need doing in the house. It's reported then deleted from the app. Maintance people do not get back to you and don't keep you informed. Ridiculous
I currently work in FICC sales and just +12 hours a day doing this BS. You get a nice salary OK but... I'll probably be making £200-230k this year? However, looking at it from a distance, it's soberly BS. I tell this to my friends in sales and they look at me like I'm crazy who wants more from his career. We are operational monkeys - harsh reality - besides money. Traders, customers and senior sales people are all shouting at you and you have no influence on anything because they also know that your work is usually BS. It's a glorious operational role, no matter how hard they try to hide it. For example, 80% of my day consists of: 1. Get customer inquiry from Bloomberg chat 2. Copy and paste into chat with traders 3. Paste the price back to the customer 4. Complete the trade, then send a confirmation email with details, make sure all operations are completed, make sure the middle office is performing their tasks correctly, upload trades to the centralized clearing system. 5. Rinse, repeat. Advantages? Less stress, no risk, so limited defects, customer trips. Work like Minions in cartoons, saw even mascots of them at few desks. Either way, I'm leaving London this year and I couldn't be happier with this decision. Operational work is a job that an average person can learn with appropriate training. Interestingly, here in the back office, much more is required than from us, supposedly we work in a bank and few people are financiers, it is easier to describe us as process operators.
