Topic Name: Investment management - step forward or backward
Message Name: Forward
Date Posted: 03/12/2002
In Reply To: Need a bit of feedback on whether or not fund management / equity research would be a step backwards after 7 years of experience in a Big 5 accounting firm (5 years of banking audits / 2 years doing commercial due diligence work) One issue is pay - will I be taking a large pay cut to pursue this sort of work? Ideas / comments?
Message: Pay and promotions come much quicker than accounting...One of the guys I know phrased it like this to a young auditor, "why are you living in the past, you obvisouly do analysis on decisions I made, while I make decisions regarding the future." Take the leap of faith if you can, life is much better on this side of the fence.
