I recently started working as an analyst at a small (<$500m) PE shop out of undergrad (target school, ivy). Can anyone provide context on what salary should look like at this level/size firm? In a HCOL and think I’m underpaid (TC will be ~85k for y1)

Anyone have any insight working at UBS as far as career progression and work-life balance (and if you’re in one of the roles, what salary numbers sound fair)? I have 4 years in retail banking and am interviewing for a KYC Analyst position and a Risk and Control Analyst position currently. Thanks!

I want to make the jump to fintech from retail lending. In my time at my job, I have done literally everything from taking payments, lending(direct and indirect), collections, audit preparation, compliance, customer service, marketing, month end and yearly reports, fraud investigation, court filings, remotely training a new staff, and much more. I am having a hard time translating my experience to what is listed in the job descriptions. Any advice on how to translate my experience?
