35k Base in NYC?
I found a post for a "Junior Equity Research Analyst" on my school's career website from Odeon Capital. The base salary is 35k. I can understand if a small firm is strapped for cash, but I am still a bit suspicious as to why they are paying so much less than the street average? I guess the reason...

ER associate to b-school.
I am 3+ year associate in ER . Now I am going to join top b-school to boost my candidacy for BB in London or NY . (I am a East Asian) I just found WSO through internet searching and this is quite useful site, in my opinion.
O&G ER Location
Is oil & gas ER as concentrated in Houston as oil & gas IB is? Or is it more NY? Also if anyone could comment on ER at firms like Simmons & Co. Intl. and Tudor Pickering & Holt, it would be greatly appreciated.

Go to a large State School and waiting to hear back from previous internship as to whether or not I have a job.

Why Are These Guys Still Doing ER?
Pretty much every guy on that list has a strong track record over multiple years. I would imagine they get offers from HF 's all the time to run money and with the current environment at investment banks, I doubt they are able to match what the HF's are willing to offer. I'm guessing the people that...
Is starting at ER better than HF, from a long term perspective?
Hi, I am a ultimate year student interested in working in hedge fund in the long run. However, I was wondering if starting my career at an hedge fund is necessarily the best choice. I understand that most buyside firms are lean in structure and don't have the manpower to train junior people. As...
Simultaneously Pursuing ER & AM
It's my understanding that many people spearhead their efforts and pursue both opportunities as they're somewhat related. Often one, or the other ends up being the fall-back in the event that things don't go as planned. Looking to hear from some folks that went into ER knowing solely that they...

Hi, I am looking for opinions. I would like to get an ER position but not sure where to start. I have been working for a major financial services provider for the last year or so as a Trader.

ER Resume Critique coming from big 4
This is for what seems to be an entry level ER job for a large east coast endowment (it's associate level but asks for 2 years of analytic work experience, so I'm saying that I've got that). I have 1 year experience big 4 but do have my CPA - very rare among new associates. I have enough content to...
Equity Research out of MBA
Hi everyone, I was recently accepted to the MBA program at Stern and am considering equity research as a post MBA path. I have a passion for markets, and while I am not so keen on the idea of focusing on one sector, I recognize that ER positions are a viable path to future opportunities in...
First Step To ER - CFA® Level I
I'm sitting for the CFA Level I in December. Assuming I pass, do you think that would be enough to land an entry-level Equity Research position? I graduated with a Finance degree from Rutgers in May with a 3.5. Decent, but not great. I currently work in the middle office of a BB doing ops work on...

Non-BB Equity Research Q&A with First Year Analyst
Hey all, Was reading through Flake's ER Q &A posted around the holidays and thought that his thread was fantastic. My experience / background is a little different than his was, so I wanted to start this thread as an opportunity to help provide at least some insight into other ER routes that aren't...
Using an Ops position to my benefit
So I was just extended my first job offer since graduating. It's a long term temp position in the FX Operations department. I'll be working in the account management area.

MBA vs Equity Research at well known boutique
So just want your guys' inputs/opinions as to my situation. I graduated from a non-target state school in 2009 and did a FLDP program at a top BB post graduation. I did it for 2.5s yrs and realized that I did not want to do internal finance for a long time and instead wanted to go into Asset...
Modeling question - Currently ER intern
I am currently an ER intern at a buyside shop. My boss gave me a company to look over and create a thesis on. The company created a new product line and combined the new line with an existing line. The company also provided no guidance regarding % breakdown per unit, just a flat growth rate. Any...

ER internship vs Mutual Fund internship
I am having an interview with a financial planning firm (they have over 10,000 financial advisors) for the ER /Mutual fund summer internship position. They do not trade their own money so all their ERs are sell side and their mutual fund analysts are just like monitors/interviewers of the mutual...

ER Bonuses: 2013
Created this same thread last year and it had a good response so thought it would be helpful to do it again. I get a sense that the street was down across the board this year but all of the focus is on IBD and not ER or S&T so there's very few data points. It's helpful to collect as much comp info...
Why Would a Prop Trading Firm Want Me to do ER?
I applied for an ER internship at a prop trading firm. They want to hire me to write articles for a third party website and they claim I will have a professional staff to guide me through the process. I'm just a little confused why a prop trading firm would have an incentive to do something like...

How long does it take you to complete an ER report from scratch
Are we talking several weeks or several days? Does the amount of time change much between estimating a P/E multiple and projecting 1 year earnings, or modeling a DCF 5 years out?
Cleantech ER for a junior guy
What do you guys think of the cleantech sector in terms of starting out? How is the trading volume in the space? I would imagine analysts get to make big calls on some names which might add to their cache and maybe some value. Incidentally, how good is it to be in the II rising stars list?

RIMM report feedback
Hey everyone, I was wondering if I could get you guys to critique a report on RIMM I recently put together: http://www.scribd.com/doc/119507200/Rim-Report-Dec-172012 This is not an equity research report per se, and is thus extremely light on valuation and fundamental projections. What I tried to do...
Where do you see the equity research industry going?
Moderator Note (Andy): Best of WSO - this post originally went up January 2008 and we thought it deserved to go back on the homepage for those who may have never seen it. I was just talking with an II-ranked independent research analyst. She was really surprised when I told her that I was...
ER layoffs and expectations
Recently heard from someone in the know that all in comp in ER / S&T is expected to be down 10-20% this year at my firm (big MM). This is a tough pill to swallow but I guess to be expected with poor volumes. Moreover, 2 senior associates have recently been laid off for dubious reasons. I'm starting...
ER Comp
So going through the forums there seems to be a very large range in terms of first year ER associate compensation. From what I have seen, the most common figures seem to be: - 65-70k base - 10k sign-on - 0-30k bonus Are these figures still correct for NYC BB ER? Where do bonuses usually lie within...
If I am not a huge fan of writing....
Hi, I come from an engineering background, and I cam currently getting a masters in economics. I am not a huge fan of "creative" writing papers, so would pursuing ER be pretty much useless? I really enjoy the research and talking about my data and expressing my opinions, but will the reports require...
ER and Your Personal Investments
I'm an engineer looking to potentially break into finance, and specifically ER . There are plenty of articles on wannabe engineers-to-finance, so I'll leave anything pertaining to that off for now.

Intern? Summer Analyst? Summer Associate?
So I'm curious what the standard title is for summer interns in Equity Research across all the banks. It seems Summer Analyst is common for S&T and IB but since it's backwards in ER and entry-level hires are Associates are some interns called Summer Associates (or is that still just for MBAs) I know...
Research report

Nuclear ER
I was wondering if there is such a thing as Nuclear Energy ER ? I imagine it's very niche so there might not be a group specifically for it, so what would it be clumped under? I'm thinking of reading up on O&G but want to prepare myself for the jump to nuclear if it ever emerges.
Goldman Sachs vs. Credit Suisse for ER
I have been trying to break into a ER role for a few months and I just took CFA level 3. Through a combo of headhunting, cold emails and HR harassing, I was able to land interviews at a few firms, including Goldman and Credit Suisse . After somewhat drawn out processes at both, I have received...
