FP&A Analyst looking for career advice

Hello,

I'm an FP&A Analyst at a major Canadian Retailer. This is my first role out of school and I'm looking for advice on what my career prospects can be in Corporate Development(within or at other companies), Equity Research or Investment Banking. Aside from retail I'm interested in the real estate (have passed ARGUS) and power and renewables sectors on the transaction and development side. I am writing the CFA Level 2 this summer and will hopefully pass it. Thank you.
