Business Outlook
Pros
Not as demanding a culture as other equity research departments at investment banks Interesting work and opportunity for autonomy A good relationship with your Analyst/Partner will go a long way in determining your future/happiness on the job
Cons
Equity research in general is not as valued a part of the organization Lack of diversity Earnings can become very routine and remains an important part of the job despite it being pretty low value-add for clients Not enough focus on serving clients versus navigating internal politics
