Fox Pitt, Kelton Work Values

Daily Duties at Fox Pitt, Kelton:

My responsibilities were pretty much the same as at Argus except there was a much greater emphasis on client relationships, getting clients to meet with company managements, and publishing of research reports. My work at Fox Pitt was much more written research driven and there was much more interface with clients either face to face or on the phone.

What they like about Fox Pitt, Kelton:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
