Hi. I would like to ask about the annual compensation for a fresh grad entering a Hedge fund or Asset Mgt firm as a research analyst.

I am currently an audit associate in a Big 4 firm but my interest lies in the capital markets. Currently taking my CFA, I am considering if I should leave after completing my CFA (2 years time) or it would be better if I take a 6mth-1 year break to complete an internship in a hedge fund, before attempting to get into a Asst Mgt firm/Bank/Hedge fund as a full analyst.

Any advise? Thanks!
