Shall I take this offer?
Hi experts there,
I got an offer from a company providing trustee, fund admin and custodian services.
The job scope is mainly verification of data from Reuter and Bloomberg System using VBA. Yet development comes as 2nd priority, maintenance seems to play a bigger role. So this position opens to both Business and IT graduates.
I am an IT fresh graduate, with the ambition to get into core business of banking industry in the long run. Taking this job, I get to learn about Reuter and Bloomberg as well as basic knowledge for securities, derivatives and fixed income. Yet I am wondering how such working experience benefits me if I hope to be involved in core business in the long run.
Second, what is difference between the kind of exposure I can get from such company compared to working in IT department in a bank or an out-sourced company?
Urgently looking forward to your advice.
Cheers.
