Pretty much the traditional finance positions bro. From what I've seen Equity Research is the number 1 feeder to Asset MGMT followed by IB. AM is a bit more varied than IB so there will be people with unique backgrounds but ER & IB are the surest paths to investment positions in AM.

If you network hard enough you can get right in from undergrad. Some of the seniors analysts that I have been around have come from IB, but most hires are now from OCR (this is a very firm specific view). ER would be an obvious option, but landing in AM is more about finding the opportunities and having a connection than it is about having a certain experience since it's a tight-knight community.
