Took a role at a family office last year working directly for a billionaire. Really regretting it now because I trusted his “discretionary bonus” and got screwed on comp (20% bonus despite good review - he doesn’t want to pay market). I don’t see a future working here and have been interviewing for a few months but it’s hard to make my way back to an institutional firm. I feel sick every day I go into work because I think I’ve derailed my career. 6 YOE with prior exp at a well-known SM HF.

We have a relationship management team that sells to family offices that I know values experience working on the client side. I’m not sure the team is looking for an associate-level person right this moment but I’d be happy to connect in the event something opens up in the not too distant future?
