bumping this old thread for any possible answers...
You mean like FI research at Fidelity.
Decently competitive, probably pays ~80-85k all in or so as an analyst out of college. Know your Fabozzi or read another book that handles bond math more directly (this is probably preferable).
Buy Side FI Research - How transferable are those skills? (Originally Posted: 01/12/2011)
What would an entry level research associate position look like at a mutual fund company's sovereign debt team? Any insight on the interview? I would be focused on a specific region. Obviously it would be a lot of macro analysis. How much can you learn from such a position? How transferable are those skills? Does it put you on a path to becoming a PM? Would you be pegged as a FI guy for the rest of your career?
If you're doing sovereign debt I'd imagine you'd be pretty transferable to macro strategies. Just my 2 cents. Most of the people at the debt fund I work at are career credit/FI/restructuring guys and I feel like I'm certainly being sent down a FI path (which is fine by me).
How respectable will someone in the sovereign debt/macro strategies area be without an econ degree on their resume?
