APAC SWFs - how to get in, prestige, exit opps
Would appreciate if anyone with insights can spill the beans on:
What are the chances as a non-citizen? What's the best way to get your foot in (referrals? headhunters? - if the latter, any recommendations?) Pay vs sellside? Exit opps? Stability? Career development opps? Best types of roles in these organizations? - investment strategy/asset allocation function or the direct investing streams (PE, private/public markets, etc)
Thanks!!!
Hey! 1mdb takes offense they're left off the list
bumping. finished second round for a fund of funds role at the above (PM or senior assoc role) and want to know to expect if anyone can share, thanks!
Problem you will always face is that total comp is just horrid compared to private players. You are essentially working for a government and comp is just lightyears away what PE/HFs pay. Another issue is that no matter how well you perform, comp is capped and not really tied to your performance. So what’s the incentive after all?
KIC - doesn't hire foreigners, pay is extremely low so a lot of talent leaving at both senior and junior levels. NPS - not 100% sure but only started hiring foreigns starting 2013~2014, apparently the 'foreign' employees are simply Koreans who grew up abroad (ethnically Korean but holding a foreign passport)
Any updates on KIC? They're hiring in NYC and comp seems decent so far (quoted $150-$225K base for associate to senior associate with 65% bonus)
