Okay lads, let me get to the point.
I went to a target undergrad with strong majors and GPA (a little over 3.6). Like a total jabroni, I had no idea / preparation career wise. Thought a good job would fall in my lap and when it didn't, I worked at shit-tier consulting firm in SF for a year. Went back to school for Business Analytics M.S.. Since then I worked at a bank in Brokerage Analytics and Consumer Credit Cards for one year each. Six months ago I transferred to New York where I do CRE Portfolio Analytics.
I'm getting jealous. I make about $125k all-in now and even if I get promoted in mid-year it will only be around $150k. Ever since I moved here I've been trying to figure out the best path forward to step-change my salary upwards.
My problem is that lots of places are interested because of my pedigree and experience, but nowhere knows quite what to do with me since my experience is so broad. Where can I cash out on all this juicy experience I've gotten? How can I get picked up by private equity real estate, for example? I've done some calculations and I think I can live a very comfortable lifestyle on $200k here, and I want to get there as soon as possible. More focus on work-life balance after I reach that number.
Interview experiences since working here: -Education fin-tech paid around $150k, ultimately wanted someone with more experience -GS recruiter hit me up for more modeling-focused role that I probably didn't have the tech qualifications for, told me to look at other job postings. Said he would get back to me when I replied with consumer credit / equity research then ghosted me. -Shitty but publicly-traded small business loan company wanted senior analyst with total comp around $150k, ghosted me eventually... -Top tech company wants data scientist (prepping for tech screen now) -publicly-traded closed-end BDO fund wanted someone for investor relations gig. Guy seemed really cool and offered to help me with career ideas even if it works out, but it looks like he ghosted me as well...this one seemed like a really good opportunity for exits in 2 years or so
