Good first job to understand your long-term career interests

Research manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

You work along very talented and capable people recruited from top tier institutions, and you will have a broad exposure to industries and institutional investors. It's a great first job, particularly if you don't have a finance degree but wish to understand the financial markets.

Cons

The glass ceiling becomes apparent very quickly, since seniority often trumps talent. Managers aren't doing anything notably different from what the entry-level folks are doing, and the competitive compensation doesn't negate the monotony of the role.

OK place to start a career, but don't expect to stay long

Associate

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Salary and benefits are decent. Many of the skills acquired are transferable to other companies / industries.

Cons

Some of the work can get monotonous, making you feel like a robot. Research Managers are constantly stressed out, placing unnecessary pressure on Associates. They also like to take all the credit for successful projects. Management doesn't seem to think the extremely high turn-over rate for associates is an issue, so they need to work on getting that fixed by creating upward mobility within the organization.
