I am currently at a super regional and am considering a move to a smaller AM firm ($25b) as a junior PM. I’m concerned moving to a lesser know asset manager could hurt future opportunities. How much weight is placed on name recognition of the firm you work at?

Sorry to say names open up doors (even if the internal politics of those names suck)

Depends on where you’re trying to end up. Do you want to stay at a big firm for the rest of your career? Or would you like to start your own shop some day?

If the former, then stick with the better name. If the latter, then go with the shop that’s going to teach you the most and give you the best opportunity to network with clients and other external parties.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.
It’s discouraging because I’m a fast learner, and from talking to my friends who are Financial Analysts, it doesn’t seem like what we do is so dissimilar.
