Hello all, any recommendations for exit opportunities as a Product Controller working with a trading desk? I am most interested in the quant and trading team. But want to know all my options before I make the decision.
I am currently an associate and don’t want to get pigeonholed into back office roles. I want get closer to the money which will be a more challenging role and I believe it would suit me better since I am still young. Thanks in advance!

Network network network. I have seen some folks able to make the move to more Private Lending type roles (where you also need some familiarity with accounting type stuff)
