Pros
- decent pay - relatively easy work - direct experience working with hedge funds, PE firms, and consulting firms (depending on which vertical you're placed in) Third Bridge is a great place to start your career. The pay is decent for the work you're doing. Its a lot of repetitive work, answering emails, cold calling, sending LinkedIn messages, etc. The main roles people transition into include Recruiting, Project Management, Sales, Account Management, etc. This is NOT a consulting role or a finance role. PAY: Year 1 - $65k Year 2 - $75k
Cons
- management doesn't take feedback - very target/sales focused. your value is based solely on whether or not you hit your monthly target goals - you need to reply to emails within minutes - very repetitive work - not a lot of room for growing skills - after 3-8 months (depending on need) they'll tell you you're being "promoted" to a Project Manager with much more responsibility. this "promotion" does not come with a title change or a pay bump. You receive a pay bump after 1 year with the company and will not get a title change from Associate to Senior Associate for 2-3 years (this is a new program they rolled out in 2022)
