PIMCO is a great place no matter where you are at in your career. I hear exit opp's are really strong particularly for HF's. Sorta agree with OMS, that going from PIMCO to value hedge fund may be the unconventional path. Since Value hedge funds are equity focused. But I don't think its that unheard of, and not a long shot. A lot of people at PIMCO will get their MBA after a few years, since MBA credentials are important,.

Asset Management Career Roadmap (optional)

“Andre was very personable, approachable and easy to talk to. I really appreciated his willingness to listen to my background, understand my career aspirations and help me think through potential directions. The session was particularly useful in broadening my understanding of the different opportunities available across digital assets and traditional investment management. I found the discussion around investment research, fundamental analysis, financial modelling, fund selection and investment due diligence especially valuable. It helped me think about and identify alternative pathways such as digital asset investment research, fund of funds, manager selection, venture capital and investment strategy. I also appreciated the practical suggestions of companies and organisations to explore, as well as the discussion around the skills and experience needed to move into these areas. Andre was knowledgeable, encouraging and generous with his advice, and I came away with a clearer sense of the opportunities worth investigating and some useful next steps. Thank you for a really helpful session!”

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Dimitri is a really good mentor. His subject matter expertise combined with him just being a really nice guy helped me so much through the entire process. His advice is super actionable, the repeated rounds never feel repetitive simply because there is always something new he can share and it's really nice how tailored his advice is and how he is doing the research himself beforehand.”

going from a credit analyst to a value HF is almost impossible. You may need to lateral to IB or ER before HF.

you should be able to set yourself up well for credit HF or a mezzanine finance.
