Hi all,
I'm currently a master student in Quant Finance in NY. I have received a summer internship offer from an execution broker to work as quant research on their new project, a dark pool on fixed income products. The project would involve in corporate bond pricing to build BBO (Best-bid-best-offer) data and research on matching strategies.

My target job is quant research on buy side(portfolio risk analytic, investment management, asset management etc..). My current situation is I have one 1st round interview with a sell-side next week (and no other pending interview) and my deadline to accept or reject the offer is early next week.

My question now is, will those skills learned in an execution broker helpful to a buy side firm? I would greatly appreciate any sharing or insight from QuantNet members.

Regards,
Lence
