Hi All, My sister has done Computer Science engineering Bachelor degree and has 5 years of work experience in India. She is applying for MBA at https://www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu/programs/mba/full-time-mba/ and https://kelley.iu.edu/programs/full-time-mba/academics/majors-minors/marketing.html. Her overall goal is to get into Software Product management. Any suggestions if any of these MBA’s can open path in the desired space or if she is better of doing an MS in Comp engg. to further develop deeper Technology skills. Thanks

Depending where you go, IR can be tough as a lot of it is not in your control. For instance, the market is pulling out of China so if you work for a Chinese focused fund you'll be screwed right now and it's not your fault at all. In other instances, it can be great to no credit of you. It is mostly a sales role, but I'd say it is 50/50 sales and crisis management.
Keep an eye out for macro environments, right now cash is king so raising capital is extremely difficult and pension funds are generally fully funded so they are pulling out of more risky funds which make it difficult for those IR guys.
Feel free to DM to talk more, I work with a lot of the IR teams across my platform
It depends on so many factors - particularly the size of firm and public vs private. I’m at a smaller private shop and do pretty much everything from reporting/dealing with investor concerns, marketing and capital raises/structuring. The money is in capital raising - but you need a solid network. Like the previous person said, you’re at the mercy of a lot of factors you have no control over, like the general economy and capital markets. Those are easy to explain to pissy investors, what’s bad/harder is when the firm makes faulty decisions - you’re on the front line dealing with it. I make 200K base and bonus can be anywhere from 30K to 300K. Associates range 80-100K at my shop
At my firm investor relations doesn’t do any sales- investors are handed to us after they’ve been closed on and the IR team handles onboarding, reporting, customer service, compliance, creating decks, etc.
I’m around 80k plus bonus as an analyst.
