Hello fishes! I am currently interviewing for a Portfolio Associate role a PIMCO , down in their Newport office. I would like to get some feedback if any of you are familiar with this role, what are the exist opportunities that can come up down the road? I know it is not presented as a front office role but more of a support role to PMs. Appreciate anyone’s input on this. Thank you!

Hmm that's an interesting role. I personally think exit opps will vary, but I would hazard that it would be similar to other people in back office roles. You could probs jump to consulting I'd imagine

Got it. Thanks for sharing this.

Portfolio associates from the backgrounds I see are highly highly quantitative. It’s not a middle office/ support role most can get as it involves sizing trades, statistical analysis , etc. it be the equivalent to a trading assistant on sell side or execution trader on buy side. If you market it well you can pivot into an great seat externally, as PIMCO won’t offer you PM unless you get an Ivy MBA
