Thank you mate for your advice here.

Chances of conversion to perm are not high as the existing headcounts are being reorganized and reduced in most AM firms. Even huge ones like Fidelity, JPM and BR are getting hit left right centre. The smaller ones like LM, FT, are completely screwed.
Surprisingly it's those niche boutique AM firms that are doing much better in terms of client retention.

It's always wonderful to hear insights and that kind of confirms my guess from the information and 'slip' details from the hiring manager. I had looked at boutique AM firms but most are not hiring (or my network just isn't big enough).
Year-end is always a good time to reflect on one's life goals, including my career choice this time round
