Hedge funds are a tough place to make it too, but the exit opps are amazing, even on the tech side. One of the reputable funds cuts their bottom 10% of performers every year, so don't go into it thinking it'll be gravy and the politics won't be there. The best part is that they make money no matter which way the market goes

like

The over generalizations above is astounding. Use some god damned critical thinking folks. No, not all HFs are better than Consulting. And OP's success there will depend on very different factors/strengths. That being said, even if OP hates it/can't make it, having a reputable or interesting HF on your resume is a differentiator, and will help make jumps around the financial space and/or back into consulting

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
