Good first job. - Recensione dipendente - Fund Accountant presso State Street

involves a client who gives money to an asset manager, who then invests it to meet the client’s financial objectives, so you get exposure across the company. Vacation Time is a plus but the hours are a killer. Asset Managers can also work for hedge funds, which typically combines outside capital with capital contributed by partners of the fund. The holidays vary throughout the company, which can be hard on people. Most days are about 11 hours, others longer. The bonus pool is questionable, the freeze on hiring and promotions seemed to set everyone straight. Overall it is a good place.
