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.

Magni autem quos voluptatibus sint qui perspiciatis. Sed officia iure voluptatem.

Molestiae vel est rerum ut ea tempora quia. Aliquam ut natus eum. Sunt quas maiores eaque saepe ut id in. Odio quam voluptatem at aspernatur ad. Sit asperiores rem id quis nobis ea.

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