Depends where but fund accounting generally has longer hours. More niche of a job but good if you like investment accounting. Pay is better. Assume you have 3 years exp, pay is prob 120 all in.

Depends on fund performance and budget, but 20% is more common

I think you need to ask yourself if you actually like the investment space? If you do it’s an easy decision. If not, then will prob want to orient your exit opps to a role you actually want to work in.

Or, you could just try it out and see if you like it. If you don’t, just boomerang. Your firm will take you back. And if they don’t, there are plenty of other firms that will take someone with both public and industry experience.

Applied online. CPA was helpful but not a requirement.

If it’s not one of the big financial firms than your hours will definitely be less. Generally you are busy the first week of the month to close the books and other than that it’s an 8-5 job. Little room for growth so to get promotions you have to jump around (especially a smaller fund).

Based on what I’ve heard, with the increase in EY pay this past year, the pay is pretty comparable right now. You have more vacation at EY. Generally at a fund your base salary is lower and there is a higher bonus. Probably not as much discrepancy at the staff/senior level but you’re likely to be all in at around 110-120k and I’ve heard senior 1 all in for FSO is around 100ish. If you left as a heavy senior or manager it would be closer to 180-200 all in at a fund. I’d say the gap between EY and HF pay gets wider the higher up you are before making partner. Once you’re partner then the pay is better at EY (unless you find a CFO job which is hard to get and comes with a lot more stress).
