I want to make MILLLLLLLLS

Say you start at Wellington/Fidelity/Putnam as a research associate for 75k all in. You're on a 2-3 yr training program. After that what is the most lucrative jump? (ie move to hf? stay at firm?

If you stuck with one of these long-only boring mfs for 10 years could you make mills? At what point would you be able to leave and have some pensions/institutions follow you to your own fund?

Bottom line: I want to start my own fund down the road, what is the quickest route from the research associate position?
