just posting to come back to.

 

[marath0n]

Anyone?

 

[bijald0331]

even if there were, they are not up right now probably. Have to get work early as hell I bet.

FA is probably the worst job ever.

/Thread.

Also, just because you wake up early as hell doesn't mean you don't get worked until 3am anyway.

Virgil are you a financial analyst?

anyone else?

 

[akwon510]

private equity (wont say company name for obvious reasons)
entry level (associate) around $200k all-in. can get to 7 figures within, i'd say 5 years or so (perhaps bschool mixed in there).
venture capital will pay less, but hours will be less
hedge fund pay will be much more variable, but potential is greater

No, I do something I love, work about 1/3 as much and make more money.

There's a reason they pay FAs a pretty good salary, and that reason isn't because it's difficult to find people capable to do the job. It'sbecause it's difficult to find people WILLING to do it.


Edit: FA is too broad of a term for what I'm talking about. I'm talking specifically about investment bankers, not necessarily people who work in VC orPE, although PE is pretty effing boring too.
