PIMCO Vs S&T
Dear fellow Monkeys,
Which would have the better long-term career prospect starting as an analyst:
PIMCOfor a Desk Analyst role, or
CITI//BARC/CS/DBfor a Fixed Income Structuring role (within S&T Division).
I would like to hear your thoughts on which career would be more stable/adventurous and provide bettercomps, flexibility, and learning curve.
Maximizing earnings and enjoying the job out of a 40 year career will be the main goal. I don't mind long hours/traveling.
Analyst-level salary doesn't really matter to me in the short-term.
Any opinion that will be highly appreciated.
Thank you fellas!

I cant answer your question, but from my knowledge the banks you listed are massively different in terms of their strength inFIstructuring; you might have to narrow it down a bit more before someone could give you an answer
Thanks!
PIMCO, without a doubt.
Reputation- It's like getting a golden stamp on your CV. Wherever you go, people will always be impressed that you were at PIMCO. Thesell sideBBrolesare great, but they don't nearly carry the same career enhancing reputation that PIMCO will grant you.
Career Options- PIMCO opens both the buy and sell side for your future career options. It's going to be harder to move from the sell side to thebuy sidelater on.
Role- It's going to be easier to move around a firm like PIMCO, rather than starting at aBBin Asia, which can easily pigeonhole you as an Asian S&T person.
Stability- S&T roles atBBare like a revolving door, people get blown out and leave often. What if you land on a S&T desk inHK/Sing and don't get along with your boss? What are your exit ops?
Best of luck!
The PIMCO name is too good to pass on. Would try and use that as a stepping stone.
