Next Step

Hi All,

I would like to ask for your advice for my next step, it will be a great support.

I am a finance major student. Before I have any full time working experience, I work for a Bulge Bracket Investment Bank as a intern in Equity Divertive Application Development for 3 month. After I graduate, I work for a leading financial data service provider as equity model generating / client service role for 1 year and 9 months. Now I am working for a boutique management consulting firm as a business analyst which is inside Vault Asia Pacific Top25 for almost 1 year. I have experience in market entry for different industry, also DD and market analysis for Some Bulge Bracket PE firm. The name of my firm is not widespread. I would like to know your recommendation for my next move.

Thanks, Sharon

Frabjous...I see that you provided us with all the necessary information...except what you would like to do.

Agreed. What do you want to do? Why do you want to leave your current job? Why not stay there and gain some experience to build up your resume?

 

Based on the detailed information that you have provided I would recommend that you either start a bakery or go into the porn industry.
