Compliance at Top Hedge Fund

Hi,

I'm a junior at a target. I've received a compliance role at a top HF for the summer. The pay and brand of the firm is extremely high, and the team that interviewed me is a strong cultural fit. I enjoy the mix of law and finance. With that said, I have no intent to go to the law school (don't like studying). Has anybody gone down this route, and what career trajectory can I expect?
