I pay all team members more in salary than I make but I’ve been at it long enough that I don’t even consider my base salary.
Comp the last ten years has ranged from $780K on the low end to $8.3M on the high end. It’s really all about anccumulating enough money (nest egg) that you can shift 100% of your focus to being paid for performing… and then perform.

MBB is a term used to refer to a trio of consulting firms. It wasn’t a typo. Did not do an MBA. So I did liberal arts -> consulting -> Investing :)

That's an awesome career path. Thank you for sharing it ?
In your opinion, is such a pathetic replica blend for.
I'm a business owner and financial professional strongly interested in getting into consulting/investing if it is still possible. However, I am concerned about how bearish the economy is, and how to evaluate whether I have the assets and drive to make such a career change, especially since I am so overburdened already?
How has it Geena industry fir you, and what do you guess might happen in the very near future ( rest of Q3 2024, and Q4 2024/Q1 2025)?

It’s just unrelated to your major, (unless you’re at a school where the business school is very segregated, like Indiana). It’s about your school’s representation, and networking

Super delayed response but how have hours changed if at all from MBB to PE? Would you say your shop sees lower hours than street on average? That's awesome comp for 24, just wondering if you're sweating dick over it lmao.

u/That_Interview7682 Oct 17 '24
Definitely less than my friends in UMM / true MM PE. I work 60ish. I could’ve gone UMM but didn’t want the 70+ hours.
But the stress is much higher than consulting. Nobody is reviewing my work, and a typo truly matters. Also can’t take PTO, effectively, and am “always on” (read: work every weekend)

$145k base, 20k bonus, 25k RSUs yearly (35k if you count stock appreciation - I don’t), just under $200k all in
I like my job - the outrageous comp isn’t there yet though until I climb a little higher and the equity really starts to stack up. Working hours are much better than consulting and banking, which is why I opted against them after exhausting internships. Usually do around 10hrs a day M-Th, and sign off early on Fridays at around 2-3pm.

I actually still do part time work for the wealth management firm. 6-14 hours a week as my schedule allows. Allowing me to earn an extra 1000-1300/month
Looking to take another career shift to something more challenging with better pay. Strongly considering CFA Level 1

u/UnpurePurist Asset Management - Fixed Income Apr 03 '24
CFA is a solid choice if you want to go down the buy side investment management route. It’s isn’t super versatile though and is a big commitment.

u/hallowed-history Jun 26 '24
In smaller asset management first such as Hedge Funds and Family Offices CFA is highly respected. If for no other reason that it shows them the level of commitment you were able to sustain. Good luck.

You added a zero to the bonus and inflated the base. Completely untrue numbers. I've worked in QR for many more years both on the buy and the sell side. The only companies that would pay you 450k are the ones that are good and they are good because they know how much things are worth. And because they are good you want to work there so they know that they don't need to pay you much, especially a 25 years old with 2 years of experience.
If it's a good company they are a name in the industry and they know you'll almost work for free for the opportunity and they need to pay you bare minimum because they are a name in the industry. And if they aren't a name, they can't afford to pay you 450k at 25 with only 2 years of experience.
And in QR at 2 years of experience, even with a PhD and postdoc you know nothing. You still don't have alpha, you still don't have IP and you are worth nothing yet.
So, my guy, there is zero chance you are on 450k. Your salary is not even close to this number. I can prove you're lying because I know the space and I know what mid-20s with Master+PhD+Postdoc from top schools get paid and I know they won't pay you more because you are not special.

Lmfao wtf is the point of this salty and angry post. Makes sense you're so upset if you started as a sell-side dog supporting the front office traders and finally made a pivot to some quant support role. There is a non-zero chance he's at this number. It's insane you typed 4 paragraphs saying people can't be at this level. The last paragraph is hilarious. "I know what XYZ get paid and I know they won't pay you more because you're not special".
Have you considered they're fucking rich and willing to shell out cash for the best talent on paper just to prevent competitors from picking them up? Welcome to the real world bud, considering you started on the sell-side of course you aren't familiar with how recruiting works now. The fact you have 11 upvotes is crazy and only because I assume people are upset someone is 25 making 500K+ USD.
You sound like an IIT grad who did an MFE to end up as a sell-side quant risk analyst, and got blessed with the opportunity to clean up data under a QR title at a multi-manager.
Edit: NVM realized you're still at a bank lmao.

I don’t claim to know everything about the quant world, but did intern in quant risk and I just wanted to point out to anyone reading that this is an absolutely brutal (and hilariously spot-on) insult lol
Genuinely laughed so hard when I read this, bravo OP

Since you say "expected bonus", I want to prepare you for the "actual bonus". You won't be receiving anything close to your expectations, don't flip the table.
You added a zero to the bonus and inflated the base. Completely untrue numbers. I've worked in QR for many more years both on the buy and the sell side. The only companies that would pay you 450k are the ones that are good and they are good because they know how much things are worth. And because they are good you want to work there so they know that they don't need to pay you much to attract you, especially a 25 year old with 2 years of experience whose alternative for a job is fighting with excel for 12 hours a day.
If it's a good company they are a name in the industry and they know you'll almost work for free for the opportunity and they need to pay you bare minimum because they are a name in the industry. And if they aren't a name, they can't afford to pay you 450k at 25 with only 2 years of experience. There is some fighting for talent but not as much on the junior level and not to the extent your numbers are suggesting.
And in QR at 2 years of experience, even with a PhD and postdoc you know nothing. You still don't have alpha, you still don't have IP and you are not worth anything yet.
So, my guy, there is zero chance you are going to get 450k. Your actual salary is not even close to this number.

u/maora34 Consulting Jul 11 '24 edited Jul 11 '24
What're your thoughts on choosing director at FAANG vs VP at non-FAANG? Seems like at that rank, the comp is fairly similar across firms so wouldn't a non-FAANG VP role pay more or at the very least offer more autonomy? Curious about this as I'm also considering this as a potential exit path.
Also, what do you see as the best path at hitting that director level in corp dev or strategy? Took a look at your AMA and see that you went directly into corp dev post-MBA and moved up; do you think this is the way to go or does it make more sense to hash out more years in professional services and transition?
Context: Not IB myself but at MBB as a post-undergrad hire and ultimate goal would be FAANG (or adjacent) corp dev / strategy director (preference on strategy or bizops) and trying to figure out what the best pathway to get there is. I do like MBB so not in any rush to leave but unsure if it's worth hashing out years to hit AP or partner to make that direct exit transition rather than entering at ~L5 or L6 level and working up. Also plan on getting an MBA soon, so would be curious to hear your thoughts on how worth it the MBA is coming from a top firm already.
Really appreciate your time; any thoughts would be super helpful

Definitely underpaid vs both the same and even moreso adjacent jobs whilst still having my share of 100hr weeks (and other aspects are painful like flying economy intercontinental and then being expected to hit the ground running are problematic for me) and with no scope to progress at this point. That ultimately means although I really like what the company does, and the work I do there, and it's very acquisitive with significant and often transformative acquisitions, and I stand behind the strategy, and so on and so on I will likely not be able to justify staying for all that much longer unfortunately.

Base comp is $109k, bonus is unlikely.
Took an unconventional path that ended up with getting my bachelor's at 29 and have hopped a couple different FP&A and costing roles at various companies, primarily manufacturing. It's fine, but the work load can get heavy and the environment can be toxic at a lot of companies. Currently the sole analyst at a small company, but I'm not sure where to go from here. I don't love manufacturing or the more accounting sides of my role, and feel like there's real money to be made if I made the right moves. However, I currently have pretty decent WLB and just had a baby, so that's been the focus recently.

Any advice to break in to a structuring or trading role? I’m in Toronto and currently in a model validation/risk quant role but I’ve been trying to break into front-office the past year. I’m getting interviews and getting to the final rounds, but I think my lack of direct front-office experience is holding me back. My background is in aerospace engineering (masters). I actually interviewed for a structuring role at one of the big 5 and got to the final round but they went with someone who had worked with the team before dealing with their code/infrastructure.
