ER vs Corporate Development
My background: 28 , single, living in Dallas, master degree in engineering, 4 years working experience in consulting, CFA
I have two options:
1) ER associate in a mm bank (NYC, 100k Base, 15% bonus target)
2) strategic planning in a large public company in Dallas (100k base, 15% bonus target)
I'm interested in working in L/S equity hedge fund. Which option is better for me? The compensation for ER associate is quite low, especially bonus, considering it's in NYC. Although strategic planning is not close to investment, I can learn a great deal about the sector.
