Yes

Yes. It’s not common, but it’s doable. But hedge fund base salary is not very high.

You can if you inexplicably become the HF manager’s right hand at age 23 with unwarranted trust like in that farcical representation of HF life. I liked the movie overall, though, especially a bit buzzed.

20 something includes 29. There's plenty of VPs making that kind of money.

like

Yes, but I’m 29 and some of my friends are in the VP level or close to and they make good money, not like that tho

My friend from high school was offered a hedge fund job in undergrad and was offered more than 500K, but he wanted to pursue his passion instead and walked away

The hedge fund really wanted him and raised his compensation offer to exceed 500K, but he said this is a waste of my passion and life. He's insanely smart

The only thing prestigious about big law is the money. They do not train you to become a good lawyer. They train you to become another cog in the wheel. Do as you’re told and only that.

For those of you with student loans, has your strategy changed now that mortgage rates are increasing? I have $230k in federal loans. I’ve been saving during the student loan pause and will have $180k as of 12/31 when payments resume. I was going to put most of it to student loans, but now that mortgage rates are surpassing my student loan rates, I’m second guessing this. Some more details on comments.
