Hi all. Please give me an advice.
I am still in my twenties but was fired by HF in less than a year because of bad relationship with my boss and my poor performance (originally from EU investment bank)
Three months have passed now and got an offer from back office position from another EU investment bank.
Though i want to continue seeking front office position, no pipeline anymore now.
Should I accept this offer?

Not bad.. though in that case the blank period is gonna be longer..

What do you mean no pipeline anymore? If you haven’t applied to at least 30-40 places I’d keep going.

I really appreciate your letting know it!
Glad to hear that case.

No I wouldn’t take a back office role just for sake of being employed. I’d keep searching! Maybe expand out to tech roles too.

Your opinion will let me decline the offer from back office role and keep seeking best role for me. Thank you!
