anyone here knows about investment management in insurance company?
need to know about pay scale & bonus, hours, job prospects, and do they value CFA charter?
 
They value the charter, but most of the in-house people are already FSA (some with CFA).

That said, pay and hours necessary depends on what your function is within the general account management group. What kind of job are you qualified for?
 
I am going to job interview with Allstate's investment management division as analyst.
 
I used to work for the investment side of an insurance company... Our investment officers were all CFA's with exp. The min. on a IO w/ 6-8 yrs was about 125k, bonus was minimal, we are in a town of about 100k in the midwest so 125 goes far... of course the other insurance company in town pays about 2-3 times that for similar work.
 
125K with 6 years experience in small town is not bad at all. thanks.
 
I am a 5 year analyst at LARGE insurance company in a small town in Midwest. Hours are very cushy (less than 40 hours per week). Current pay is $78k + 35% bonus with easy targets. I have an undergraduate degree and earned Charter last year. Specialize in real estate.

It is my understanding that Allstate provides a much higher bonus potential, yet the targets are much more of a stretch, longer hours, and much higher cost of living.
 
yeah, true about cost of living, Allstate is in Northbrook -- pricey northern Chicago neighborhood. hopefully higher salary scale will offset higher cost of living.
 
man... those hours sound great.

sorry for being so naive, but what do you mean by "easy targets"? what type of performance targets do buy-side analysts have at insurance cos?

i passed the first interview, and will go to second interview next week.
this time it will be a 3-hour session.
Anyone here know what they ask you to do in that 3 hours?
will they ask you to build excel/access/C++/vb portfolio/valuation models on the fly?
 
It is amazing that you expect such stuff. Do they actually require C++ in their job spec? If not, I doubt that someone would fancy to ask such things. But second rounds are ususally more technical, expect tech quizzes on the bullets in your job spec.
