Thank you for your email.<br><br>

Your experience in back office will not be a disadvantage to you applying to a front office role. Your experience in the back office should provide you with a insight into Investment Banking and you should be able to draw on your experiences to explain why you want to work in a front office role.<br><br>

Any work experience is useful when applying for a full-time position and any experience you have will certainly not "tarnish" your application.<br><br>

We look forward to receiving your application in the Autumn.<br><br>

Kind regards,
