Don't Really Like ER!

I recently started a job at an independent sell-side firm.....I've come to realize that I'm much less interested in the number crunching, projections, etc....than the underlying businesses....

I really want to get into strategy consulting or corporate development...something with more of a focus on product development, etc...

What should I do?

 

Try talking to the contacts you've made in the industry? I don't know. Sorry you hate it =/

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

leverage ur financial skill set into those opportunities.. if the firm has a big name, you should get some looks. otherwise, you may have to pound the pavement quite a bit to get someone to talk to you / invite you to an interview.

------------ I'm making it up as I go along.
