Buy Side vs. Sell Side
Lifestyle
The lifestyle on the buy side can vary depending on the fund's investment mandate (short-term trading, long only) and type of firm (hedge fund, mutual fund, insurance company). But generally speaking, the lifestyle is better than other industries (consulting and investment banking). The research analyst and portfolio manager hold market-driven hours and work weeks generally range from 55-70 hours per week.Work Environment
Most MBAs start out as research analysts covering a specific industry. They are usually the only person focusing on that industry, and the work is very independent from the other analysts. The work generally requires someone with a disciplined work ethic who does not need much supervision, but is able to stay motivated and be productive.From Columbia Business School COIN site
