Why not go straight to a fund and learn more whilst getting paid more? I don’t think hours are that much better at an admin since you have the same deadlines

I did look at the fund like TPG and they are also very busy hours, Thanks for your response

Look I did opposite of you. Depending on the fund admin it could be worse or same hours, but less stressful. When I say less stressful sometimes cranking out tax returns is stressful and mundane cycle. I honestly thought fund admin day to day was less mundane.

Idk if you go to a top fund admin like SS&C , state street or northern trust - you might have some excellent exit opportunities to go to a fund

I did talk to the team manager and they said we do not work crazy hours like PA , but i agree it will be less stressful fr sure, for me tax deadline was very stressful

Yea accounting is always going to have deadlines, but dealing with a capital call due date vs 3/15,9/15,10/15 totally different. Also, after being in tax I realize I could do the fund admin job better. Idk I had an offer to go join Aduro I somewhat regret not taking.

Yes that makes sense!

I would suggest not working anything fund related if you don’t like long hours. I’m at Apollo and all our accountants are ex big 4. Our operations team come from fund admins. So most fund admin exit ops are to operations, not fund accounting.

I think its important that we internalize what happened with Depp and Heard.

Please remember that while female abuse is physical (most often) abuse towards a male is (most often) going to be societal (where the aim is to destroy your reputation) and emotional (where the aim is the break you down mentally)

Its also much harder to address because male abuse is NOT taken seriously at all.
