Interviewing for a role at a big Asset Management firm, but not sure yet if I’ll like it. For people working in AM, what do you like about it? How does it compare with other finance jobs (WLB, fast-paced or not, compensation, etc)

Compensation is good. Keep in mind, though, that the bigger the fund, the more grueling your hours are going to be. That said, the culture in AM is usually pretty positive, so at least you'll like your colleagues during those crazy hours.

Really, like most jobs in finance, long hours but excellent pay. Very hard to find a good paying job in this field that doesn't require insane hours.

I’m curious, does anyone recommend getting a CFA to work in AM?

It's definitely a fast-paced environment. The compensation's within the minimum. I'd say that it was a solid experience and my stay there really honed my skills.

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?

Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
