So I've been interviewing at a very small and recently established (though growing aggressively) financial advisory firm in London for an analyst role. (from a Big Four background myself)
What I'm wondering is how does work at such an organization differ from a larger more established firm? Obviously it'll be less formal and you'd have more responsibility at earlier stages but what other things should I consider?
I would assume that a small firm with a limited P&L would probably pay less salary but then again the bonus pool would also have less people making a claim to it?
Also in terms of exit opportunities (not that I'd be looking to move yet again, just more as an insurance policy to have in the back of my mind) how would my CV look compared to someone from a big name background? On the one hand the firm name might carry less weight but I'd arguably have gotten a wider set of experiences at this small firm?
Any other comments are also very welcome.
