[quote=Anonymous]I am the head of IR for a fortune 500 company.

I worked in a more market facing role for many years. Eventually, once I had young kids, I wanted more manageable hours and less stress.

I truly enjoy IR, and have a major eye roll for the hate towards it.

Each company is different (and there are a wide range of roles within IR) but for me it is very manageable hours with the exception of near earnings calls. But, I can predict that. Other times, I WFH quite often.

Cons include the fact that IR is a very small team even within huge companies (I have three individuals that report to me). Vertical growth can be hard... horizontal growth is easier. Huge pro is that it is great exposure, even early on. The most junior members of our team are briefing our CEO.

I love what I do. In the future I might move to a SVP or CFO role within the company, but I am content right now. I would suggest not starting out in IR depending on major.... if she is a finance major work in finance first. If she is com or PR, work in IR right away. [/quote]
