Pretty new to the forum and looking for some help. I will be attending a good, not great MBA program this fall (15-20 ranked school). I am looking to break into ER, preferably on the sell-side. I will be entering school with four years experience at a large asset manager in a trade support role. No hands on investment experience but I do have my licenses.
Basically the question I have is what do people recommend I do to start preparing for the interview/recruiting process. Any books/training/individual exercises that a person essentially starting from scratch can use to gain skills and knowledge needed for ER. I understand I am going to school to learn these things but the recruiting process seems to occur before any classes have even been completed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I agree with tc's points.
I would also suggest focusing on a specific industry of interest(s) than try to just get hired whereever. I am fairly confident that most analysts really want to know their associates are truly interested in the sector they cover. You'll be working on initiations and going to be really diving deep into a specific industry, so choose wisely! It'll be a big investment on your part but it's totally worth it if you love the work.
Also I would suggest putting together a 3 statement model with projections and a price target along with a 1-2 page writing sample of a stock youre interested in to send to analysts.
Thank you both for your help!
