Tier 2 Asset Manager vs AQR
I am 29 years old and I work at a tier2 Asset Manager (with around $400 billion AUM) as a Business Development Analyst (18 months on the job). It took me some time to decide that I wanted to work in Finance, hence my age.
I have an offer at AQR Capital Management for a Business Development analyst position but I don't know if this would be a good move for my career. The salary is 40% higher, the brand is better and the work place more stimulating at AQR. But doing this move would make me start again as a junior analyst and as mentioned I am already 29 years old. Would you have any advice and do you think that I should accept this offer?
Thanks in advance for your insights
If basically everything about the role is better except for the title, I feel like that means it would probably be a good career move. Not in BD but know AQR well. They're a great firm and obviously very well respected. I would say unless you have a clear promotion path in your current company, moving to AQR makes a lot of sense. I've never worked at AQR but I get the sense that titles won't matter that much there. If you're performing well you will move up very quickly.
