Hey everyone!
I've been a longtime lurker-finally am coming around to my first post. Anyways, I have a few solid connections at Manulife's Asset Management branch and John Hancock's Investments side. My only issue is I can't find too much info on them other than their websites. Particularly interested in Manulife AM if anyone has any info. From visiting the offices and shaking a few hands the culture seems to be pretty laid back but not as exciting and collaborative in comparison to some of the other firms I've been to. Also, from what I can find the exit ops and pay don't seem all that great in comparison to other AMs in Boston with similar AUM (~400bn) with more prestige (Eaton Vance, MFS, etc). I know that your first job is more about the experience than salary, so would anyone know how this would stack up when looking at grad school or lateraling to other companies if I ever want to move? I am a rising junior so I know I'm putting the cart before the horse a little, but I'm starting to work for internships next summer, and want to know if this would be a good enough place to start out, or if would be wish to push even harder than I already am to get to one of the more stand alone Asset Managers not tied to an insurance company. Any insight is really appreciated.
Thanks!

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.
It’s possible to exit to a more prestigious AM firm from there. But, the more common path from what I’ve seen has been to go to BB ER after 2-3 years. The good part about starting at an insurance company is that you have more time after work, whether you want to put it into getting your CFA or towards having fun. And then after ER many return to the buyside for AM or a hedge fund. Hedge fund is less common though, to be frank with you, but doable.
