Business outlook
Pros
- Access to Nouriel "Dr. Doom" Roubini - Exposure to investment managers and government officials - Possibility of media appearances (TV, radio, print) - Strategists earn decent salary
Cons
- Overtime and weekend work is expected - You better not have a life outside of work. God forbid you have a baby! - Employees are continually replaced with cheap new graduates or outsourced to India - Economists double as web editors. You don't just do research; you update a website daily - Not a resume building experience if you want to stay in the financial industry - Your spine needs to be made of steel - the company cares little about ergonomics - Economists earn crap
