- too many possibilities - Because I've been encouraged to try out so much more than my job description included, I do feel a little burnt out at times. This is not to mention that many innovative ideas have often not been tried before and there can feel like a lack of precedents occasionally. I would say though that supervisors, seniors, peers and colleagues are incredibly supportive and proactive in lending their listening ear and advice.
- Brand name varies according to geography - big, prominent brand name in NYC and HK, but relatively lesser known in rest of Asia. People in Asian investment communities have generally heard of Yipit, but knowledge about how good we are or what specifically we do is definitely less penetrated than a traditional powerhouse name (eg. consulting names, big four, bulge brackets and top research houses).
