PIMCO v BBAM: Alternatives

How long did pimco take after sparkhire?

I would say

Ugghh this new wso update sucks ass. But I would say that PIMCO is the better of the two. You'll get more pay, learn from brighter minds, and get to specialize in an area that will be getting much attention for at least the next few years due to covid-impacts on the global economy. JPMAM is also a great AM firm, but not the same as PIMCO. You have to have some idea of what you want longer-term, as in if you want to stay in portmgmt or if you want exit opps to go into areas like strategy or product analysis/specialist roles. PIMCO and less than a handful of other companies are the gods of FI AM. It seems like credit-related roles are what you're looking for, and PIMCO would provide the best exit opps for you if you decide to make a switch. Also starting on the more esoteric side of the spectrum (DSS), provides you with a better skillset in case you decide you'd like to go to stressed or IG credit down the line, vs going from analyzing less risky investments to riskiest. HFs would also take a PIMCO alum before a JPMAM alum, so that's another opportunity to think of down the line. If you decide down the line that you want to join JPM, you have better odds there, than you would joining PIMCO from JPMAM.

Anyone have any more insight? Also have the offer, and would love to learn more about pimco
