Pros

It’s a solid place to get your foot in the door if you’re early in your finance or accounting career. You get exposure to big-name clients and complex fund structures, which definitely builds your technical skills. The name carries weight on a resume. Depending on your team, the work-life balance isn’t bad either.

Cons

The pay is honestly pretty low for the amount of work and responsibility. Raises are minimal, and bonuses are either small or nonexistent. It can feel like you’re doing a lot without really being compensated fairly, and promotions move slowly unless you really advocate for yourself. A good place to learn, but not somewhere I’d stay long-term unless the pay structure changes.

Pros

Own book runner and strategy. Good work life balance. Good working environment and nice people to work together

Cons

No much growth. Promotion to VP or higher is even forbidden based on company policy. Instead, ask people to move to different role. It doesn't make a lot of sense since it encourage people to find a new job.

Pros

They offer resources for learning.

Cons

In my previous roles I've never felt burnout but with this one is the first I was feeling crush. I don't think managers take time to structure the tasks on a 8hrs or 10hrs per day. There are a lot of unrealistic expectations, no work-life balance at all. Even if you made the sacrifice to stay late, you will not be done with the work for the day.
