How do you define “great talent” in finance today? Personally, I’m trying to prioritize curiosity over raw technical skill. Someone who asks the 3 rights questions is more valuable than someone who builds a 40 tab excel model.

I do look for the basics in terms of technical skills. Firmly believe I can teach a lot of skills, but I can’t teach them to “want” to learn them. If that makes sense. I’d take somebody needing to learn a bit and actually doing it over a lot of other things.

Personally I think having personality these days is more rare in finance! I feel like everyone is a copy and paste of each other, so being good at your job and actually fun to be around is hard to come by. Just talking from personal experience!

Are you hiring a manager? Or an analyst? Technical skill is important but certain roles don't necessarily call for that. Someone that understands trends as they relate to finance or the economy and can articulate them.

Good point

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
