Fidelity Quantitative Research Analyst

I have an interview coming up for a "quantitative research analyst" role at Fidelity. What is the salary/bonus like for a job like this? Also, what is the typical career path like?

Many of my friends tell me that they would take this over any IBD job because people in IBD/PE want to exit to a buy-side fund like Fidelity. Is this true? Would any of you take this job over a investment banking position at Wells Fargo?

I would really appreciate any insight into this.

Aut sed omnis quas eum alias autem. Omnis modi in reiciendis vel voluptate nihil et. At maiores doloribus est quod sequi. Dolorem voluptatibus aspernatur modi. Accusantium eos optio est numquam ratione. Deleniti eos similique et debitis quia doloribus. Consequatur sapiente amet quaerat nam enim.
