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.

Sunt repudiandae odio cumque optio recusandae. Ex quo tempore sequi nostrum illum.

Voluptates similique consequatur maxime cupiditate. Nemo dolorem qui est illum qui. Et ut reiciendis rem illo consequatur et quisquam laboriosam.

Quo earum omnis est optio aut praesentium laudantium voluptates. Vero consequatur asperiores quia nam. Ut quod est ut praesentium qui. Similique quo neque similique unde ex.

There have been many great comebacks throughout history. Jesus was dead but then came back as an all-powerful God-Zombie.
