You do it for a couple of years and then jump to another seat - as far as I know there's not really a pathway to an Analyst seat through internal promotion. If you're coming from the sell side at 1-2 years of experience (which seems to be the sweet spot) it'll most likely be a pay cut but it can be a great springboard for finding a good long term seat on the buyside.
I think they changed the structure recently though so you're working as part of a centralised 'pool' of associates rather than working for a specific Analyst or PM, which might make it less good as a learning opportunity.
Interesting, thanks!
So comp would rather be in the range of 80k? Tbh I`m a bit confused by their very diverse candidate backgrounds (perfect CVs to mediocre) in combination with the extremely good reputation and some other comments about very high salarys
That was the right ballpark a couple of years ago when I was looking at making the sell-side to buy-side jump. It may have changed a bit since then.
As a shop it has an extremely good reputation, and if you get an Analyst seat (generally a post-MBA role or filled by ex sell side sector analysts with >10 years of experience) you stay for life. The Associate program is very much a "2 and out" type role, but it will open a lot of doors elsewhere (our last hire was from the Capital associate program and candidates with it on their CV always get an interview with us) given the strong preference a lot of LO / HFs have for buy side experience.
What is analyst compensation for post-MBA? And compensation few years out?
