What’s your Work/life balance? I was offered a job at a small fund but working in AM although the pay is less… I’m very comfy with my 40-45 hours a week and curious at what point you shifted from chasing income to work/life balance?

I have a smiliar work/life balance with a bit over 4 years experience and have my CFA researching funds, PMs, building models and providing investment insight etc. I'm pulling in over 90k + around 10% bonus. I'm in my late 20's and value my current workload since I do not work long days, but I still have the drive to earn more, even if it means longer days.

My 2 cents, you're fortuante to get an offer at a small AM fund. I say that because I've recently started applying around for a equity reseach and even PM roles, however I'm realizing how hard it is in Toronto! However, I have not tried networking, so perhaps that's why. While your comp may be lower, it could provide more upside later on. If the hours are substantially higher, i.e. 90/wk, then in my opinion i'd reconsider...but I somehow feel that would be unlikely. You can still maintain a work-life balance doing 50-60 hours a week, for example.

An agency I freelance for wants to hire me full-time. They told me for a Sr Copywriter, 100-110k. I countered with 125-150.

I also said I'm interested in a higher-level title - I currently freelance as a Creative Director of Copy elsewhere (they don't have that title at this agency.)

They came back and said yes to the title and to 125, with a 6 month review that could raise it to 145.

Which is good for Sr Copy, but low for CD/ACD level. Don't want to screw myself over. What to say now?
