I’ve been contacted by a recruiter for a hedge fund trading position— I’m in sales at a BB. It’s a good firm but I think this is just buy side execution.. worth pursuing?

Execution trader on the buy side is not a bad gig. Total comp will be a healthy amount (well into six figs on both base/bonus) but not as high as a risk taking/market making role at a prop shop or broker dealer (less risk though). There is always the possibility of moving up into a desk head or PM seat down the road. I would give it a shot!

I’m on the consulting side (FDD) and I’m curious if there are PE firms with good WLB. I’m happy with my pay, growth, and hours. PE interests me but I don’t understand why anyone would want to consistently work 65+ hours a week every week. What’s the appeal? Making double the pay? What’s the exit plan?

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?

Are there some background mechanics that I’m missing?

What does an exit from Salesforce consulting look like? I’m in a technical role leading a small team so my understanding is a technical/solution architect or a development team lead at either Salesforce or an end user like Amazon/Amex.

I have bounced around a couple consulting companies so would prefer not to do it again. Total 4 YOE.

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
