I keep reading on these forums how difficult it is to move from bo to fo. Is it about as hard for someone in the middle office to move to a fo postion?

so is this PWM or AM?

well, seeing as how the group “is responsible for overseeing the profitability strategies for the Private Bank”…i’m going to go out on a limb and say middle or back office.
