I do fund accounting for an administrator, not the MOST exciting work ever, but it’s way better hours and everyone I work with is really nice so I like it!

My friend did it and hated it. Make sure you know who you’ll be working with, if you’ll have an office, and what the ACTUAL bonus structure is. Not just “you can get up to 20% of your salary but you’ll be lucky to get 2%"

If it’s a huge hedge fund I’ve heard those jobs are legit
