First off I would like to apologize if this is the wrong section. Secondly, I would like to know a little more about financial analysts: 1) Do FA receive high bonuses, and what % of salary is it generally in? 2) How long do you work before you become a research associate? 3) How well are FA's usually paid, I am getting very mixed signals about the salary of FA's.
Thanks!

from your post - it seems all you care about it making money. Good to know
FA positions depend largely on what firm you are working at. Some places call positions FA's and all you are doing is cold calling and selling stock. Other companies will have FA's be involved in pwm and consultation. I would take a closer look at the job description and contact the recruiter or HR at the company directly.
anybody else have more to add? and thanks Nefarious, that actually helped a lot
