Advice on moving to a different finance industry
Hey all,
I just recently left my position as a Futures Advisor. I was mainly involved with sales, marketing, and setting up information sessions for farmers or asset managers (read: a lot of cold calls). I'll be graduating college in a few months (BBA in Finance) and would like to be working in IB as an analyst.
Does anyone have some tips as to how to switch industries in finance? I have my Series 3 (not that it means much in IB) and over a year of experience as a phone monkey at a commodity brokerage. Is there any topics that I should be focusing on for a career in IB? I've been working on my financial modeling skills and valuation techniques.
