• product control is not a very sought after job ......its a good market for newly qualified ACA's and you move up the ladder from there. Its all about accounting and controlling a product but nothing on strategy,. u learn products thats it. But can u trade. NO.So depends on what u want. A nice life with good money -PC is good. But if you are ambitious and want to do a FO job. then NO. tell us wat u decide.

• I would say that product control is about knowing when you control a certain product during a certain amount of time having certain factors in consideration such as the client's perspective of the business and the international economic evaluation of the assets. On a first instance the equality of the equation should not include portfolio management or any analysis of equity related risks, which if happen should be minimized in order to ensure a correct managerial contact between the client and the company. Hope this helps.

• It would really depend on how much knowledge you have on the daily PnL process and products - but if this was strong then, yes, the options would be there. In terms of salary and bonus, then it's difficult to say without seeing your CV but I would guess it would be from the £60K upwards mark and onwards into AVP level.
