My understanding is each PM is given a cut of the assets he gets to manage and he decides how to allocate the money, he decides how many analysts he wants and what they get paid, even Analyst Blackberry payments are taken out of his revenue so if the PM is generous you can make a lot, if he isn't generous you won't make a lot.

 

I know they recruit at Wharton. They took 4 in 2008, none last year (they probably took no one that year - it was a pretty shitty year for the industry).

 

I have no idea. I will be going to Wharton next year. I just took that info from the Wharton Career Placement book thing.

 

Let's wait for someone who actually works at SAC to post. Our bets are as good as useless. I'm sure there must be at least one person from SAC who will post.
