- HEARTBREAKING level of exit opps. Because any company with a bloomberg terminal has 24/7 helpdesk at their service, nobody needs to hire one. This reduces you to a Magikarp equivalent in the job market. Unless you aspire to go Reuters, WIND, FACTSET, CAPIQ etc, this place does not prepare you for anything else
- NANO-management (monitors your lunch & break duration, projects, meetings, client conversations- you name it, they monitor it)
- only nano-managerial roles available as 'career path'
- 0 creativity required- just answer client questions correctly, suck up, maintain decent metrics and you're set to 'succeed'.
- MORALE is low but EGO is sky high
- AI bots will replace this role in future
Certainly, if you look at this maturely, cultivating a customer-oriented mindset will form a solid foundation for future business endeavours. Bloomberg is also deeply integrated into the Fintech space through Bloomberg Beta and mike's personal acquisitions, giving you a clean picture of how technology is integrated into the regulatory, operational, data and financial market frameworks. Also, learning about the mechanisms behind a billion dollar private company (not many out there) is quite interesting. The job itself has its value BUT WITH THE AMOUNT OF SADNESS ALONGSIDE YOUR WORK, I SUGGEST YOU RUN A FEW PLANETS AWAY FROM BIG BROTHER.
