Good shop. Jeremy Grantham made the right calls for about a decade so they saw a ton of increase in AUM. Also good exit opps with other buy-side firms in the area. I was reading bios from that firm and saw a former trader from LTCM there which I thought was pretty cool.
Pay - should be the same as other buy-side firms in boston.
It probably is...from what I gathered from the job description
its the liason between the investment teams and the IT dept...
not ideal but...anyways
thinking of using this position to leverage it into a FO investment type of role
with the company later on, but I know this is probably false hope???
I tried it with my current company but to no avail...
ppl tell me that it's better to just go back to school (MSF/MBA) or do something
else instead of trying this BO-FO transition...
but if the pay isn't bad then probably would sacrifice BO for the money I guess
Just sat in a on a great presentation by GMO and just wanted opinions on the shop.
Let me explain to you how this works: you see, the corporations finance Team America, and then Team America goes out...and the corporations sit there in their...in their corporation buildings, and...and see, they're all corporation-y...and they make money
Interviewed there. very quant-focused. I was given pretty much a 20 minute interview then a case study. Took me 70 hours to complete, had a week to complete it.
A very good Asset Management shop--most people who are in the know in terms of asset management should respect. I know they're strong in GTAA space, since I have a case study on them for my own work.

Data analyst sounds like a BO job.

GMO is one of the most reputed asset management shops. Where did you attend the presentation? Was it OCR?
