Why are you so focused on Structured Finance? I work in SF and issuance is down 95% since the credit crisis - there are no jobs and little usage for securitization or related skill sets - plus the regulatory framework will take 3+ years to sort itself out...might want to think about joining a corp entity

BTw I worked at Moody's - making a jump to a "desk" is very rare; to an analyst role more prevalent but understand buy side shops havent been hiring in 3.5 years

I have an opp to join a rating agency as well (not structured prods, but more of the traditional corp debt prods within a specific sector)

I have <2yrs Ops experience as it stands, and haven't been having much luck getting into research sell or buyside. I'm thinking this may be my best shot to get some analytical / research experience pertaining to the markets / businesses

thoughts?
