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.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster.

Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
