Highest hourly rate job in finance
Slaving away in IB gets you pretty close to minimum wage when you have a bad bonus year. Are there better options in finance with much higher hourly rates and decent work life balance? Is equity research or IR, a hidden gem?
Equity research ends up being pretty long hours - just more predictable. It can be solid 70+ hour weeks for a 6+ week earnings season... so basically half the year
IR is high on the balance of WLB/interesting/pay, a big discount to something like IB or PE but hard to beat for a 9-5. Also asset management and higher-up parts of real estate (junior pay is trash but seniors do well and work few hours)
OnlyFans crypto influencers who recommend picks while shoving household items in their assholes - if that qualifies as “finance”.
Meh, sounds like higher quality experience than VC at least

LO AM at the senior levels for sure, especially at partnerships like Wellington. Junior level quant HF.
