    hi all!
    I got a graduate offer from a big accounting firm, I m thinking which department should I apply, insurance, banking or asset mgmt???

    as far as I known, insurance and banking are quite busy, while asset mgmt may not busy in the summer..

    but lots people saying you can learn a lot if choosing insurance/banking...

    I m wondering if I want to go for a job in investment bank after the training contract, which department should I go for??? :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    many many thanks in advance...

    You won't get a front office role in an investment bank after working in a fs department. At best you could get into middle office.

    If it's financial services you're looking at getting into post contract either banking or funds would be fine to go into. Banking is the busiest of those three with funds/insurance close enough.

    Banking you're out of the office a lot of the time whilst funds it's a mixed bag. Most people are office based all year with maybe a week or two on client sites for small jobs whilst others can be out of the office months at a time. I'm not too sure on what it's like for insurance, probably somewhere in between the other two.
