Pro: you have a job. Con: you are joining a company that is part of the problem with this country.
Why is BX part of the problem with this country?
Pro blackstone con you leave Deloitte
Already left Deloitte lol, got laid off last year
Fund accounting is soul sucking. They have in office policy as well, so you’re literally there so the front office people can look down on you
Need the monies, hated audit and cruelty at find admin firm so need to leave this toxic place. Why would front office ppl look down at me?
Not sure about that group in particular but the people I’ve worked with at Blackstone have all been very sharp. Sometimes they are a little intense, but it’s a definite pro to be working with smart, driven people.
I am going to throw my hat in there. Fund accounting is not as bad as everyone says. Yes, it's repetitive, yes it's soul sucking sometimes. Blackstone is demanding but if you stay there for a year, it could open a lot of doors. I have worked at funds and funds admin, fund admin in NT has some busy days and other days it's not bad at all. I love tax more, far more but fund accounting is paying the bills. Some shops out there offer remote opportunities in fund accounting as well. I interviewed with Blackstone but they needed too many hours and I have a baby now.
Con: hard to find a different job after, fund accounting is a bit specialized
Yeah but job market is tough and don’t think anyone is hiring rn. Took me 6 months to land a role at SS&C fund admin after getting laid off from Deloitte last year
Hear they work people to the bone, which seems to correlate with why I get recruiters messaging me about joining so frequently.
Damn… I’m cooked
Heard Summit office is good- good culture and real estate is not bad either. Honestly working hours are only crazy during first week of the quarter close- other days you can leave by 5:30/6pm max.
