Recently received an invite to got to Boston and interview for an investment reporting analyst role. Seems like a good entry into the asset management/fixed income world and would be a great opportunity. Do a yea/two and move into a better role or leave for a better role. Anyways, I live in nyc, recent grad. Moving worth it for your first opportunity? Is going to work for that specific firm worth it? I do have some good leads and interviews coming up in nyc but they seem to be moving really fast at Wellington. Don't want to move there and its not going to lead to something good in a year or two.

Team Analyst or Global Industry Analyst?

Just re-read job title - apologies i thought it was an investment analyst role. Wellington is very well regarded but my honest advice is that taking a reporting analyst role is less than ideal if you are looking to be in an investment role. My advice would be it is far better to get an investment analyst / (associate) role at somewhere far less known if you want to have a career as an analyst. Depending on how you assess your options it would be a perfectly comfortable lifestyle and place to work - but I would have very high confidence saying you would not be able to move from the reporting role to an investing role within Wellington.

Don't know how internal mobility is at Wellington or what you're really looking for but at first glance the job title doesn't sound like an actual investing role if that means anything to you

Very hard to move from roles like that into investments roles. I'd recommend going for an investments role even if it's at a smaller shop

Thanks, I appreciate it. I am just in one of those situations where I currently have nothing. Few referrals for some roles but no actual real interviews or anything that I see leading to an offer. So trying to see what is out there hat I can use to leverage in a year to move into investments/research.
