What do you think of this job opportunity?

I've been trying to break into the investment banking industry after several years of NGO and market research experience. I've suddenly been offered a 5-week contract to work as a researcher/ghost-writer for an extremely high-profile figure at a top-tier investment bank, while the regular person doing this work is away on an emergency. This person is regularly on Bloomberg, CNBC, and extremely well respected.

Do you think this could lead to a permanent, more mainstream job opportunity, or will I just be forgotten after 5 weeks? Would a 5-week stint do anything to boost my resume?

depends on how good you are someone will notice you if your good.....................lay with your boss

actually yes though the stint is short and you cannot expect a whole round experience here, it surely is a good start. give it your best shot and gain maximum from this. it is also good in the sense that u get hands on feel of the environment which u are planning to take on ling term basis

I think it holds lots of potential. You'll make lots of new, high-profile contacts that could open new doors. It all depends on how you handle it.
