thanks for the response, I was wondering, is there a reason aside from personal preference for why you're trying to break into DCM as opposed to an FO structured products group? I thought in terms of salary/bonus at most shops SP>>DCM... but again... I'm not speaking from experience..

Also, Assuming one were to work in structured finance for... say 2 years at the rating agency... do you think it would be an organic transition onto a front office desk? So i guess what i'm asking is do you think that there are front office groups that would find this type of experience desirable?

Thanks again for your advice!
