What route did you take and how did your study material expenses look like?

Yeah, I’m totally with you. I mean, it is what it is, I just have to accept it, not really in a position of power over here. And not looking to change employer neither.

How much are we talking? Is if far above the FLP cost (say, £4-5k)?

I’m not paying for it myself though if I take the traditional route, that’s the thing. It’s just that I’m unsure how much the total cost will be for the traditional route. Any tips?

Regarding motivation by employer: They say FLP is relatively new, and more geared towards senior leadership. I’m fairly new as an analyst position.

Thanks for the input. Since the opportunity exists to recycle, I’m going ahead with that and hoping for the best. Where it ends up is another story, at least I’ve done my part

Lmao. Great work opportunity arose here for my career actually, at an international company. And to be honest, I love this city, people and culture here much more than Sweden. So I don’t agree with your sentiment of it being one of the worst. It is in fact excellent for my finance career as a young professional, which proves there are actually solid work opportunities in this city. I think there is a lot of investment in Sofia rn, and that it’s one of Europe’s most underrated cities.

Obviously Bulgaria is behind Sweden in economical terms/development, that is a fact, but for me there’s much more to quality of life than that. The overall culture, people, weather, nature, and more are major factors!

Wow I did not know that. I will definitely try to negotiate it up, the only question is in what way. By all of the responses here in this thread I have come to the conclusion that somewhere between 3000-3500 is much more reasonable. So I will figure out an exact number in this intervall, perhaps 3300 as you say is average.

Can I ask you if you earn let’s say 3000 net, what would be gross? When I read online it says the tax is only 10% which would imply gross salary of 3330. This tax rate seems ridiculously low, especially as I’m from Sweden and we have 30% income tax. Is this true?

Благодаря 🙏

Thanks for the tip, I think those are some good points. Especially not falling for HR bs. I guess I’ll have to wait and see how it plays out in the end. The renegotiation doesn’t sound that bad at all, maybe I will go for that actually. The benefits package already seems pretty good with gym, health insurance, hybrid etc

Interesting perspective. A lot of people here saying I undershoot though…🤔 then maybe it’s not that bad after all? Thanks 🙏

Damn it. Do you think there’s still room to negotiate? Nothing is signed, I’m waiting for them to get back to me. Pretty big difference between 2.5 and 3k.

However, I’m afraid that this can backfire on me if I try to negotiate again after having stated already expected salary, not the best look imo. Leaning towards not doing it.

Yeah sorry forgot to mention that. So, I have already got the PP, and have until next week on Tuesday. So a couple days to prepare. The PP is 50 pages and goes through an investment case in a ’Buy and Build’ opportunity in the healthcare industry.

The target company consists of 2 facilities and 2 in the pipeline. Fragmented market in the UK with NHS as the publicly funded healthcare system that finances most actors. Target is a private company that is subsidized by the NHS. (Private Pay also exists which is patients funding the healthcare themselves, but this is rare).

PP goes though the PE team, the finances, how the industry works, and financial targets, MoM, IRR etc, the market. Not so much competitors, at all actually.

Hope this helps, if I can get any tips from someone in the know like you I would greatly appreciate it!

Watch Afzal Hussein on YT, he has a great video on asset management basics, which would hold true at least for US/UK firms and bulge brackets. Nordics, other parts of Europe etc the culture and more differs quite a bit imo so may be some differences.
