ER training

I really want to build a career in finance but I’m not sure which field I can best perform in. I recently moved from Corporate Finance to Equity Research (with the goal of becoming a portfolio manager), but there is no training in my new company. They just tell you what your sector is then you’re left on your own to do the research. It's only been a while and I'm sure there's a learning curve. I know the basics of where to start – read financial reports, news, watch the market. But for someone new in research, putting everything together and making a recommendation from all that data isn’t easy. Is ER training really like this (kind of like a throw them in the water so they can learn how to swim type of training) and not a mentorship type of training?

Hi, I'm usually scared to post discussions because I've seen how people talk in trading chat rooms. Please be nice. I know the finance industry is tough and emotions shouldn't get in the way, but mental health is more important. :(
