What are folks opinions on jobs within the product org of an asset manager? Are they well respected by the overall org? Does it provide solid advancement into senior level positions? Overall trying to get an idea of the culture you’ll face, are they seen purely as an extension of Ops middle/back office or more a partner with the front office?

Are you talking like a product specialist? Ie a structured note specialist? If so, they are a good value add for the sales teams. They sit on client calls to really explain the product and how it could help them. The sale people won’t know the intricacies and need an expert to partner with.

Curious what’s a fair salary in MA? Was just told that there is likely not going to be a chance for a raise during my upcoming performance review due to my salary already being “above average for the industry” based on my employer’s questionable research. I’ve been with the company 8.5 years & am the only one in my role, which they can’t operate without. I execute tasks from two investment advisors and two financial planners - they make the decisions of what should happen & I make it happen.
