ER besides NY?

fraser24gt — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 18:37:24 -0400

Could anyone tell me if there are ER opportunities outside of NY, particularly Atlanta/Southeast? Doesn't have to be BB, but come to think of it, do any boutiques really provide such a service? Also, I'm guessing Wachovia and Suntrust will come up, so if anyone can comment on "prestige" of research at these firms, it would be appreciated.

PWM=Sales?

fraser24gt — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 23:25:10 -0400

I know not too many people on here are concerned with or even really respect PWM, but can anyone give me a definitive answer about the degree to which this is essentially sales versus actual risk management, discovering investment opportunities, etc.? It seems like I've heard some places like GS are much more into active management of portfolios where someplace like Fidelity would diversify amongst mutual funds and leave it at that.

CFA Value

fraser24gt — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 12:54:16 -0500

Can anyone comment on the value of having a CFA for
1) Equity Research
2) PWM
3) PE
4) HF

in relative terms?

Also, I noticed on the CFA website that it is possible to take the exams starting your senior year of college. Would this add any value to a resume for a recent grad?

Atlanta Hedge Funds?

Does anyone know anything about Duff & Phelps as far as culture, exit opps, pay, etc.?

Honeymoon and I-Banking

fraser24gt — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 01:20:27 -0500

Is it possible to get married as an analyst and have time for a honeymoon, or would this have to be postponed? Same question but for associate level as well.

Atlanta/Southeast I-Banking

fraser24gt — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 22:06:16 -0500

Anyone know about I-Banking in Atlanta or Southeast in general? I know Atlanta has Stephen's, a small RBC office, SunTrust, and maybe Wachovia. I know some bigger firms have offices here in Atlanta (CS,BS,ML,UBS,etc.) but I'm not sure if they are I-Banking related or just private wealth.

Anyone know anything about Stephens? Are they considered boutique?
