Business outlook
Pros
I used to work in Compliance IT in GWM; the work is not difficult or time-consuming. Generally, everyone gets in around 10, leaves at 5; definitely great if you want an extremely laid-back occupation.
Cons
Awful place for any sort of intellectual stimulation, and there are no real exit opportunities. You will work with (and probably under) low-caliber people, which is the nature of back-office, and find yourself working at their pace. I was essentially a glorified email server; taking emails from one party and forwarding it to another.
