Not a bad comp do you work in FA?

Lol I know a small hedge fund (10-15billion AUM) the controller makes well above 400K but it’s a small shop w only 2 controllers, 1 manager and 2 accountants but the controllers have been w the firm 10+ yrs they are super selective tho

Damn that’s pretty small shop for decent size AUM I feel like. They work a lot? In addition when you say selective what have you seen? Are they all CPAs? CFAs etc?

Depends on fund size, employee count and performance. But I’d say $350-450k on average.

Reposting from HR bowl: I’ve heard there is a hiring boom, especially for L&D roles. I was let go recently from a toxic environment (removed the company from everything) after only 4 days of work. I’m actively job searching but not receiving ideal hits. I see a lot of senior level L&D roles but not as many for specialist roles, specifically in tech. I have 5.5 years of experience. Any advice for me? I’m also seeking therapy for the trauma & coping, now ready for securing that next role!

Hello everyone.

This is a thank you post.

This platform has helped me in a way to get more than a 100% hike.

I am working as a Data Scientist with 5.6 yrs of experience in DS/ML.

My current CTC was 12.6 LPA and after switch, I got 32.2 LPA (30 fixed).

So I would like to thank everyone who posts comments and share their experiences. This helps a lot to understand the current market scenario and whether they are underpaid or not.

PS: Attaching my CTC
