Joining FO at 2 YOE?

Got a fantastic offer for a small family office (FO) (TC 140k) in a LCOL area. Seems like incredibly strong upward mobility, interesting work, and great culture. Alternative would be strong heavy travel Strat ops consulting gig (TC 160k) but much worse WLB. Leaning heavily towards FO, any downsides?

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Dimitri is one of those Mentors who goes above and beyond. I have never heard anyone else say: "I pulled out my application materials for when I was applying for this position now to prep with you". His advice is super actionable, his knowledge really such a help, and I love how he's encouraging and challenging me at the same time. ”

“I recently met with Chris Riggs, a Mentor at WSO Academy, and came away with a much clearer picture of the path ahead. He explained how the internship is structured and what it offers, then pointed me to specific resources to review beforehand. He also walked me through how to write an equity research report and how to market myself to companies once the internship is complete. His advice was practical and directly useful given my background in corporate actions and fund operations. Thank you, Chris.”
