I’m interviewing with a top hedge fund next week for an Investment Analyst role. The salary for this position is between $120-$130K, plus performance bonuses. The problem is, I’m unsure about the types of technical questions they might ask. Should I be brushing up on specific financial models or market analysis? What would you suggest I do to stand out, especially considering that I don’t have direct hedge fund experience but have strong corporate finance experience?

I’d say try to get a sense of the team culture as well. The right fit matters just as much as the pay.

It’s all about marketing yourself as being a good fit, anyone can be taught how to press buttons.

Not sure if the right spot but need help figuring out my worth. I am with a large real estate PE firm, mcol area, and I am technically in FP&A. That said I do 95% of my work automating valuations, fund models, and underwriting using SQL, python, and excel (for end users to be able to use). Given my technical department, my skill set, and my actual work I don’t know where to start for understanding an appropriate salary. I have 5 years industry experience with both finance & tech.

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

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?
