CIO Analyst to Equity Research

Wanted to get everyone's thoughts on moving into equity research. Currently working in the Chief Investment Office of a large insurance company doing investment strategy on the insurance portfolios. I recently received an offer to move into equity research covering life insurers at a boutique investment bank. 


I wanted to get everyone's thoughts on moving to sell side ER in today's environment.  How are exit ops today? Ideally I'd like to move over to a hedge fund at some point. What does comp look like at the more junior levels of ER?
