Pros
• Unique, unbiased, buy-side, value-oriented perspective on valuation • Employees that go above and beyond to perform and demonstrate strong understanding of the model are generally well-rewarded • Great work-life balance; CFA program is encouraged and you will have time to study • Active thinking, innovation, problem-solving, propositions/proposals are encouraged and well-received by management If you have a passion for equities and the public markets, this is a fantastic opportunity. You will master the technical mechanics of financial statement analysis and valuation while working alongside software engineers to do this as efficiently as possible. The environment is generally contrarian where nothing is ever taken at face value. New Constructs does the diligence that many investors neglect. The knowledge offering is immense and the pay is competitive. Do some research on Nashville and think outside of the old, devaluing NYC/Chicago box. No city nor state income tax in Nashville. Multiple cost of living calculators determine that ~$145k in NYC is the equivalent of ~$60k all-in starting in Nashville. You will generally work 40-50hrs a week compared to what will likely be 80+ elsewhere. Do some basic math here and you'll recognize that this is a very fair deal.
Cons
Not necessarily cons but things you should be aware of/able to handle: • The firm is small and resources are often limited; you will frequently need to juggle multiple projects while dealing with new work/issues throughout the day that arise • There may be times when you may be halfway through working/researching on a project but must put off returning to it for a while because a higher priority need has arisen
