Asset Management Salary and Lifestyle

i dont understand why graduates, of all people, would desire to have work life balance.

come on u are just starting out and are supposed to grind it out. what kind of weak mindset is this?

Have heard that PM in GLCs are difficult to enter because it has generally better work life balance so the people there wouldn't wanna leave too. I have also spoken to someone from a local bank's AM and he said that on most days they seldom end work after 8pm which sounds quite rare? But also maybe because it's a family oriented bank so good luck anw!

Why are you perceiving this as a weak mindset?

Different people have different values and priorities in their lives, whether they prioritise work life balance, that is their choice. I don't think that constitutes as having a weak mindset per se.

Agreed, it’s a pretty narrow mindset. Some people genuinely aren’t up for the 15/16-hour grind that comes with IB or S&T and are realistic about it. Of course the trade off is you get a (much) lower salary and compensation, but most people agree to it. It’s especially important if you have say family commitments. OP would be misguided if they thought AM had magically much more W/LB, but he isn’t wrong if he is comparing it to, say, IB.

Working 80-90hrs a week don’t say time la, also don’t have mood to spend. I have friends that got burnt out in IB pretty badly. Every day getting yelled at, checking phone 24/7 just waiting for **** to happen.

He got damn fat too LOL

That great to be a freelancer and work from where you wna. It's open a lot options to trave and spend more time like you want.
Everybody should look at a career like that. s://anywhere.epam.com/ could help with it
and i think that's the best option.
