Hi all,

This questions seems to be frequently asked over the Internet, but I thought you guys would have an insight.

I'm due to do a Technology internship with a bulge bracket this summer. If I like the look of trading for a bank as much as I did for myself a year ago, and perform well in the Internship...
  1. Is it feasible to suggest to my Bank that I would like to do Trading (either Trading itself, or Sales) and is moving from back to front office a realistic goal?
  2. If my Internship involves working on Trading technology that's a plus, but if not, is there anything I can do to show an aptitude for Trading work?
  3. Does anyone here have a reason why Trading for a firm would not be an attractive idea, and maybe Technology is a better option? Note: I am educated in Business & Technology, but am much much more interested in the Business side.

Lots of Networking is already on the cards, but if anyone has any opinions on this, they would be very much appreciated. Thanks!
