Hello, I am a student interested in AM. Do you mind if I could PM you with a few questions?
Sure
hey, old thread, but could I also dm?
I used to be a fixed income analyst. It was very chill. People would be in around 8am or 9am and leave around 5-5:30. Typical day would include monitoring portfolio holdings for any market or credit related movements, finding new trade ideas and doing due diligence on new companies, writing surveillance or new credit reports, and answering portfolio managers’ questions. Hope that helps!
Product Development, big AM, typical 9-5 job, work OT a bit occasionally.
Can leave earlier if not too busy.
Work with PMs, operations and almost all important people and team cross organization.
Great position for new grad.
Pay is a bit lower than PM team but relatively higher than average.
Base+bonus+pension.
