Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview
Work where I live or live where I work🤔

For context, I’m on the quant trading side of another multi manager with a path to increase pnl contribution but am interested in discretionary/semi-discretionary macro in the long run.

A true execution trader role would take away your direct pnl contribution (so lower risk but also lower reward). You’d still be looking at strong comp as long as your desk is doing well.
If your long term goals lie more in the strategy creation and portfolio construction spaces though, and your current role offers you a path to that, a new execution trader role may be a step in the wrong direction.
Thanks for the comment. Do you think I would be more likely to be able to make the move to discretionary macro from there (FX/rates focus + other FICC) or in my current seat?

Honestly, could go either way. A lot of desks are blurring the lines between fully discretionary and fully systematic these days (e.g., discretionary directional trades with systematic FX/beta hedging, discretionary portfolio construction with a systematic execution process).
I would pick whichever one has the products/asset classes that would align with your long term macro goals. It sounds like that might be the new execution trader role?
