Deciding between offers - Two offers to decide between
I have two offers I'm trying to decide between: Bear Stearns (Risk Management), or BlackRock (Portfolio Analytics Group). Which one should I take?
the bear offer sounds like back/middle office ...dont know much about blackrock pag though but i assume its more front office than the bsc job
.
I would pick PAG. I don't think the road from RM to trading is as clear/definite. Hard decision though. Don't know for sure.
Maybe Jimbo will comment.
Sorry, no real idea about this.
If you somehow didn't pick yet, BlackRock has an amazing culture and lets you take vacations and they really try to treat the employees nicely.
dont know a ton about risk mgmt at Bear but the culture there is to hire jr. traders out of the middle office since they dont have a clearly defined S&T analyst program. FAST is their equivalent but that is more MBS/ABS, structured product related. i know some people at Bear that made the move from risk mgmt to jr trading jobs so it is definitely possible.
I've heard anecdotally that PAG is a really good program.
BSC sounds like back/middle office. BLK PAG sounds like front. id go blk bc it seems like youd do more real work instead of processing back office work all day
BTW PAG hours are 630am-930 pm monday-friday and 7 hours on sunday. About 65-70 hours by your 2nd year.
Hey guys, thanks for the advice. Even though this is an old thread, but back when I was deciding between offers, I ended up choosing BlackRock PAG, and I'm very happy with my decision. BlackRock is doing awesome, 4th quarter earnings show 90% profit increase!
Thanks for the info SternMonkey
