New ER Associate - Any advice?
Hi all,
I just signed on as a new ER associate. I was previously working in accounting, and made the switch after a few months of interviewing. Any advice for making the transition easier? I understand this will be a faster pace environment than my previous job, so any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Congrats on the offer. Is the ER role at a bulge bracket?
Well done on your new role.
A book I found most useful is Best Practices for Equity Research Analysts by James Valentine
I got this after your comment and read through - 10/10 rec
Made a similar transition. I went over a modeling course again and just read 10ks of my coverage
Congrats on the new role. First thing to learn is that you will be largely useless your first ~6 months so the biggest piece of advice is to be engaged, and have a good attitude because you'll be taking over low level tasks (sending dial-ins, data dumps etc...). Produce error free work and you'll continue to get more "core" and interesting work to the team.
Before you begin the job, ask the team to send a primer or something on the industry to learn some of the jargon, companies, arguments etc.. in the sector.
