AM Interview advice?

Anyone have insight into culture, salary, etc. for a Fixed Income Investment Analyst at an Asset Management arm of a large insurance company? Details on the company are fairly skimp, but the firm as a whole has an AUM in the $100+ billions, although their high yield corporate bond platform is below that figure.

Also, any ideas on a high yield corporate bond pitch in a total return environment? I'm under the impression that it should be as simple as finding defensible credits on the rise and then determining which instrument to buy in their capital structure based on YTW... Is there more to it? Could use some guidance here...

Is this at PGI or a NYC based company?
