      Almost impossible to go from Portfolio Associate to Portfolio Manager.

      Pros

      Will work directly with PM, but nothing to do with trade idea formation. Suggested trades will be to comply with fund guidelines or limitations. You do have the opportunity to step outside of the box and create trade write ups which they most likely will read. These must be exhaustive and foolproof - like all of the other PM's trade ideas.

      Cons

      You will be close to PM's but definitely have segregated feeling. Have to do things on your own to break out - this is hard. You basically have to make money, before being able to make money.

      Pros

      Good reputation in financial industry

      Cons

      Plain bad culture at the technology group. Sacrifice of personal life earns you good impression and promotion - incapable managers and weak employees stay in office 12 hours a day staring at screens trying to reach 7pm... dressed up 'professionals' must eat lunch at desks even there's nothing to work on. All you need to do is to show how much you sacrifice yourself to earn good impression. If you do great job but need to work from home or leave early for family issues, you are a plain bad employee. Managers have no experience managing large scale infrastructure. Entry managers can't stand talent employees' great work and think that's threat to their positions. The general culture is 'Stay in office from 6am to 7pm for years and you will eventually get there. '
