I'm trying to get into biotech equity research but not having any luck yet. I have a BA in biochem and I'm about to finish CFA, with more than a year of general sell-side equity research experience.
Should I get an advanced hard science degree? MBA? Or should I get an ER job in any field with the hope of eventually moving into biotech/healthcare?






What is general sell side
What is general sell side research? Didn't you cover an industry or sector at a broker-dealer?
Sometimes sell side shops for biotech like people who have worked in the industry for a few years. So, if you worked at Pfizer or some specialty pharma, that's valuable. Try for a healthcare role in the industry, an MBA doesn't help for ER.
