For job seekers, we suggest taking a close look at the new compensation plan before you make a move. Gather as much information as possible in the interview process about past fund performance and determine how the proposed package will measure up to your specific expectations.
Talk to others in the firm. Ask about turnover and get any promises made in the interview process in writing before accepting an offer. There is significant income to be made but you need to be with a firm long enough to share in the upside. In addition to cash compensation, consider the culture and the work environment.
