Hey everyone, I’ll be starting as a risk management analyst at a large regional bank this July. I graduated from a target state school with a 3.6 GPA and a degree in finance. During undergrad, I interned in corporate finance.
While I’m excited to build my foundation in risk, my long-term goal is to transition into asset management—ideally in a research or analyst role. I’ve always been drawn to markets, portfolio construction, and long-term investing. I’m also considering pursuing an MBA down the line, but in the near term I’m focused on gaining relevant front-office experience and beginning the CFA exams.
I’d appreciate any advice from those who’ve made a similar lateral move. What’s the best way to position myself for asset management? Would trying to pivot internally make sense, or is networking externally the better path?
Thanks in advance for the insight!
