Does anyone here work (or worked) as an analyst?

[opihiman2]

I just got offered a gig as a junior analyst with a local asset management firm (around 200 million AUM).  I've worked most of my career in tech, but I've always wondered what it would be like to work in finance.  I'm an older dude, so I'm not sure I can even make a career outside of this in finance.  Anyways, I was wondering if there were others here with experiences doing this.  If so, could you PM me?  I would like to know what the job is like before I decide to take it.

 

Thanks for any helpful replies.

Thanks folks!  Interestingly, I guess not much response so far.  Hmmm, for some reason, I thought there were quite a few analysts and PM's who frequented this forum.  I think Myth something something was an analyst before.  I forget. 

 

Anyways, I guess I will just need to try it out to see what it's about.  Kinda excited, kinda worried.  I guess I'll have to just see how it goes.

I suspect part of the reason for the low response rate is that many of the pros don't read this board on weekends (simply a hypothesis based on volume of posts).  See if anyone answers tomorrow....
