<p>Another way to look at back office positions are those that are non-revenue generating. These positions don’t help the company generate direct income.</p>
<p>wait about management consulting when many undergrads business students go into consulting after school its not this type?? if not then why do the big consulting firms like mckinsey recruit undergrads??</p>
<p>I was a Civil Engineering student and did the Goldman Salt Lake Ops intern last summer. I wrote a review of my experience with the internship.

<p>Back office refers to banking. It is processing trades, stuff like that. Support roles. Decent job, but repetitious. If you are looking for a 9-5 life with decent pay, Ops is for you.</p>
