Compensation: Corp Development roles Vs FP&A/Accounting roles
If my end goal is F500 Leadership Roles, looking purely from a compensation perspective, would FLDP (accounting) be better than the Corporate Development/ IB route? My reasons for FLDP being a better route (please correct me if I'm wrong): - The salary for corporate development is very similar to...

Cities with the Best Cost of Living / Work Life Balance in Finance
I've come to the conclusion NYC is not for me. More power to all of you whose dream is working on the street, it's just not for me. Cost of living is too high. Hours are too long. Taxes are too high. Where in the country is the best balance between high salary and low cost of living in finance? I'm...

What I've Learned About Hedge Fund Structure and Compensation
Hedge Fund Structure Over the last few months I’ve realized just how diverse hedge funds are, and how little people (both in/out of the industry) understand about the different structures. This is my attempt to distill some of the bigger differences in ‘team structure and compensation’. It’s...
Compensation at Long Only Fund

NYC Boutique Compensation
Recently received an offer from a boutique bank, but was not given a salary figure. That will be discussed at some point in the future and was asked what I had heard/expected for boutique compensation. Given that BB banks raised base to $85K, have boutiques in NY (not EBs) followed suit and also...

Offer from ETF firm
Just got an offer from an ETF firm for FT . Don't really know too much about the industry, but apparently they're giving mutual funds a run for their money.

Private Equity Operating Partners v General Partners

Trader Bonus Across the Street
Just out of curiosity, does anyone have any information regarding trading bonuses as they relate to PnL?

How much of the fees a professional services firm earns do the professionals get?
I think I once read (but I might remember incorrectly) that in the IB industry, approx. 50% of the fees earned are paid as compensation to the bankers. Would you agree to this 50% rule of thumb?
