Law Firm Back To Finance?
I have always wanted to take the traditional financial analyst route- I wanted to get into a 2-yr banking analyst program and work my way "up" to an analyst at a HF or PE firm. I never got to the analyst level after having tried for two years. I looked for analyst roles at boutique shops, but even that did not happen for me.
Instead, I went from middle office at a BB to a trader/analyst at a start up fund. The analyst role at the start up was not what it sounds like- no traditional modeling required as it was more of a desk analyst role. I needed to leave the start up as it was not doing well as a firm.
In my ideal world, I would love an equities analyst role. But that is not going to happen anytime soon as I've tried for about 2.5 years to find one. I just landed a role at a securities litigation law firm, fairly small sized. The job is for a "financial stock analyst"- monitoring the news/market to look for potential case opportunities. Involves working closely with the attorneys.
Not my dream job (does pay well) and never what I imagined for myself, but my short term plan was always to go back to B School in order to get that analyst role I always wanted, but never got. So could this law firm role be a good interim job for me? Or am I tainting my resume by going from finance to a law firm (although they do specialize in securities litigation). I thought finance recruiters love seeing resumes that tell a fluid story. PLEASE ADVISE- I don't want to make the wrong career move here!
