you'll be reporting back to someone in charge how the PMs are doing, you read their reports, you listen in on their conference calls, you go to the AGMs and such. if this is your step into middle office work, then so be it. but its not glamarous and there is a giant leap to actuall PM work (or even ER work). |

This is true, but I'd still take a job working for a reputable plan sponsor over one at a less reputable money manager. If you can work for a good firm (Wellington, PIMCO, GMO, etc.) than that's certainly ideal.
Unglamorous? Maybe. But at an early point in your career, that might be OK. Lots of people make the switch to money managers.
That being said, plan sponsor work is indeed more likely to lead to the client side, product management, or consulting roles..."middle office work" as sydneybound calls it.
