Hi, I got a accounting manager job offer from Fidelity Boston. I was wondering 1) how does it feel working at Fidelity? pressure? Overtime? 2) their base salary is not much higher ($120k) than my current but their bonus plus profit sharing seems good (totaling 25%). What do you think?

  • congrats on the offer!

    just note that it takes five years to fully vest the profit sharing and 401k match.

    i am in a different function, so cant really comment on work intensity as an accounting manager.

    • sorry, first time i have heard of it. based on the req, looks like a solid path to working in the asset mgmt business unit.

      it looks like a new program; i dont see anyone with rotational associate title in asset mgmt in company directory.

      i am familiar with the capital markets rotational program, which might be (previously) one of its kind. if this quant investment program is indeed created from the same mold, i would expect recent college graduates to move around various asset mgmt teams for 4-6 months over two years.

      i would wager that the systematic trading group will be one of the core rotations (and that they got the idea from capital markets =)).

      good luck

      Awesome, thank you so much! I'm actually in a Cse program so that's why I wanted to know what I am getting into haha! Guess it's time to read some finance books!

  • Can’t speak to accounting as I’m in a different group, but the benefits are definitely real. WLB is generally pretty important across the firm as I’m aware, and my experience has been that overtime expectations have been pretty clear and flexible - seasonally busier in tax season, less busy in a normal summer, etc.
