PIMCO > Big 4
Don’t go Big 4, it sucks.
Low-tier BB I assume you mean something along the lines of RBC, TD, Scotiabank, etc
What I think = Meh, I wouldn’t work at any of those I listed (RBC I would consider)
Honestly, PIMCO is a great company and if you land there I wouldn’t see why you would want to go to IB unless your true passion is making money.
PIMCO is a large and reputable shop that has been growing like crazy this past year. Pay is competitive and you’ll have a good WLB.
I would say go for it, it will still set you up for Junior year if you wanna do IB.
PIMCO has brand name recognition
Agree with everything but WLB. PIMCO is by far the sweatiest AM shop.
By client facing role do you mean a client service associate? If so, disregard the above commenter (especially if you’re looking to recruit for IB). It depends what the role is at the big 4 and BB.
account analyst
Having PIMPco on your resume is a lot of cash... personally would not do 2 years in IB if I could land a research/investment role at PIMCO out of undergrad. To answer your question, no, having PIMCO on your resume would do you zero harm if you wanted to recruit for IB.
How did you find this opp at a semi target? I’m doing something wrong clearly
You’re doing it backwards bro
