Both great shops, but PIMCO is the undisputed leader in FI. Better location as well imo. Provided that PIMCO is an investment role(not account management, product, etc…), take it over PGIM.
Would Pgim be pretty close to pimco in terms of experience and prestige?
PGIM offers very solid training for undergrads looking to do FI investing. However, an investment role at PIMCO is extremely hard to land and is in a league of its own when it comes to active FI.
Depends on the role for me. I would rather be running money at PGIM than be back office or middle office at PIMCO. That being said, working at PIMCO pretty much guarantees you interviews/roles at any FI shop
I would trade the opportunity to have a three-some with Jennifer Anniston and Sommer Ray for an investing role at PIMCO.
It's like asking somebody if they want to work either at E&Y or McKinsey
HBS vs. Yale SOM? Goldman or TD Ameritrade? Capital Group or Capital One? Lone Pine or Northwestern Mutual?
Finally a thread addressing the tough decisions out there - pls advise, thx
Pimco Trading / structuring roles > PGIM FI > Pimco Account Management
Are you comparing McKinsey against KPMG? Assuming you will work in the same functional roles.
PGIM catching strays left and right lol
As it should btw
What's with the PGIM hate? Is it a meme of sorts? Thought they were well regarded.
PGIM has a great FI team, but in this context there isn’t much question since PIMCO is FI king.
Well-regarded, but they aint no PIMCO xD
One thing people aren't bringing up. PIMCO is the undisputed leader in fixed income but boy is it a sweaty shop. Culture is so bad over there. Ties are required 4/5 days a week. Analyst turnover is quite high. In fact, their situation is so bad they have been struggling to find a senior analysts for some teams and are resorting to external recruiters.
In terms of name branding you couldn't go wrong and you'll learn a lot. You'll also probably hate your life. Just food for thought.
Thanks for sharing! However, I saw under other posts that PIMCO Alts requires 60-70 hours for their analysts? Not sure if the picture is too rosy to be true
