UBS asset and wealth management got hit hard and is bleeding, I'm not sure about CS but if you like research you might want to go with JPM.
I think research is the best gig. Especially economic research, which is difficult to get into from undergrad.
alright thanks.. but whats the exit opp for economic research?
exit opps would be grad school (b-school or phd route), gov't agencies, econ consulting, etc... Yeah from the AM side, you probably have a better shot at HFs and mutual fund companies. But I reckon HFs hire macro economists too, so that option might be there as well....
UBS. Research is more of an academia route imo, but the JPM name will give you some edge for b-school and future career change.
yeah im quite sure JPM pays more as well since its under the IB department.. CS kinda last in terms of payments not too sure bout bonuses.. you think one can go into trading from economics research team? I'm more to AM as i guess you'll interact more with traders
Yes. I think this is definitely doable. Some very successful traders come from economist backgrounds (i.e. Gartman, Zachary Karabell, and even Schiff...like it or not!). I think, however, that you would be best suited for an FICC role as opposed to equities. Or at least a desk that takes a macro view in its trading positions....
JPM for sure
