non-Investment Banking Finance Job with HIGH PAY & GREAT WORK LIFE BALANCE?

[@edraymonds7641]

There are no perfect jobs available, and I appreciate your honest description of this. If your job is something you are enthusiastic about, it will suit you; otherwise, you will perform a standard 9-5 job like everyone else. If you understand what I mean, I believe that the business sector gives many of its majors a financial advantage because you learn a lot about the idea of money and how to increase wealth.

[@kimhauge1792]

Undoubtedly, majoring in business has its benefits. The majority of business majors I know don't work for others for very long and always have successful side businesses.

Working on the investment team at a wealth management company, I can say that the work life balance is great, and the work is still fairly interesting. We talk to PMs of private equity, hedge funds and mutual funds that want our money all the time and have to decide which strategies we think are best. Starting pay in mid 60s to 70s, but once you pass level 2 of the CFA you can get paid a lot more. From what I gather after 5 or so years you can be in the mid 100ks.

[@kb1drums]

I’m thinking about going the CFP route, my school has a minor that prepares you for the exam and includes the capstone. Do you think it’s worth it, or would it be better to do a double major? I would double major in Finance and Econ, or chose one major and do the minor.

[@BossBabyLegitness]

Really depends on what you want to do, if you want to work directly with high net worth clients and do a lot of estate/financial planning, then I would recommend the CFP. If you want to work in researching investments, then the CFP won’t help you. In that case I the double major would be great, taking level 1 of the CFA plus a finance major might be better (that was what I did and how I got my job)

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024

Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?

I searched for her full name online, found her page, and sent an email to schedule a meeting. Hopefully, she responds soon. Thank you

If you want to work at a hedge fund do you have to work in investment banking?

[@TheBryanJun]

Not necessarily but it often serves as a check in the box

[@eddierosario1537]

@@TheBryanJun ok just making sure I heard a lot of people from asset management as well as investment banking work at hedge funds

[@ryanklarnet5905]

Equity Research is usually a good way into an equity fund, i.e. still a fairly demanding way to check the box - another route is to work for smaller/niche funds that may have lower comp but are less demanding and job hop your way up to bigger funds

@@LaneShetron Quant work honestly doesn't require much of a finance background, if even at all. Firms typically look for a graduate level mathematics background (this can come from math, physics, or CS usually) to develop sophisticated algorithms
