Anyone know what a generalist at DE Shaw might make if I have 4 years of work experience including one year in big law? It seems like a generalist can also come straight out of undergrad so…I’m not excited to go through interviews with 0 sense of the salary potential… apparently it can take multiple interviews before they give you any sense

I wouldn’t let it hold you back from pursuing, but would ask (I think they know what big law pays). Not sure on the “generalist” roles for the reason you said but my experience interviewing with the DE Shaws, Bridgewaters, etc. has been I wouldn’t be taking a pay cut. I was more exploring legal roles, but hedge funds like DE Shaw were offering raises over big law all-in comp

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
