A Back Office Monkey/ Minion. On an intellectual par with HR workers, this person is either a career B.O.M., or delusionally thinks they have a chance at moving to the front office in one go. Often found studying Level 1 CFA exam in the September to June period year after year.
The new B.O.M. LION thinks he can get a gig on the credit derivatives prop desk, just because he knows how to reconcile a trade!

Politically correct way of referring to Back Office Monkey's. The term was originally derived by Jagov of Analystforum fame in response to Rajesh's indignation about being called a monkey. BOMS typically think the term refers to some advanced mid office function are proud to be refered to as such. In order to qualify the BOM must be a dreamer, to believe that is worth is far greater than it truly is. BOMs always complain about their meager salaries but can be appeased with doughnuts.
That BOM settled my trade for $12 million and now thinks his bonus should be a couple hundred grand.

I offered an aspiring BOM a chance to work alongside me as a Portfolio Administrator but he turned me down because it would have involved a 42 hour week instead of his usual 35. Now I hear he'd touting Nortel on Analystforum.
