Hey all, Had a couple general questions about the AM side of the industry. Is it "significantly" harder to break into a buy side Asset Manager like BlackRock vs the AM arm of a BB Investment Bank like GSAM out of undergrad? What differentiates the two? (Im guessing its just the size of AUM?) How do the two compare against each other in lifestyle(hours) and compensation? as well as compared to IB? Would it be fair to say that both types of AM have less of an "up or out" culture compared to Banking? Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.

1. Is it "significantly" harder to break into a buy side Asset Manager like BlackRock vs the AM arm of a BB Investment Bank like GSAM out of undergrad? What differentiates the two? (Im guessing its just the size of AUM?) Both are difficult to break into. The AM arm of a BB could be slightly easier, but neither would be easy. From the perspective of an entry level employee there would be very little difference between the two. Obviously, cultural differences could be substantial, but that's true comparing any investment manager to another. 2.
