FoF vs. Hedge Fund
I currently have offers at at:
(1) FoF - target ~$350K per year cash comp, 40 hours / work week
(2) HF- target ~$500K per year cash comp, 60-70 hours / work week
Which one would you guys take and what are you considering in making your choice? (Lifestyle vs. salary? Future earnings potential? How interesting the work is? Exit opportunities?). Please also indicate your age and gender when you answer - as I'd like to see whether that affects the lifestyle vs. salary choice.
Assume that the cultural fit at both firms is pretty equal.
Thanks!
I don't believe you. Go ask people who can actually give you insight into this decision, rather than a bunch of college kids.
This question is a little ridiculous. The jobs really are not similar at all. Subsequently, I can't imagine their cultures being similar either.
Both those jobs pay more than enough for me and have enough earning potential, but I certainly would not want to work at a FoF based on my interests / personality.
Are you aware of what the day-to-day would be like at each job and their respective pros and cons? IMO, two totally different personalities so the answer really lies within your own personality and interests rather than what anyone on a forum can say.
As far as perspective, I'm a prop trader but had shadowed and spent a little time at a top FoF.
Something tells me this post is either fake... or not real.
Why not? both of those are reasonable offers for somebody with a bit of a track record in a risk-taking position (say a juniorish VP trader who has made some money over the last couple of years).
I'm not (yet) on the buy side, but I'd say that the FoF's upside is extremely limited from what I know. I'm a workin' fool, so I'd go for the hedgie.
