I am a first-year analyst in Equity Sales, but I've always wanted and planned on working on the buyside (specifically a L/S fundamental fund - investing side). I know equity sales is not a quantitative role with many translatable skills in terms of modeling, etc.
I am not sure what my first step should be to reach my goal of getting to the buyside because I am not in IB or ER...I am addicted to the markets and formulating opinions.
Any tips? Do I use LinkedIn?
