Quit Banking and …..?

First year analyst in Top BB in HK. Really hated my job and determined to leave. While don’t want to go some random fund considering all the shit went through.

Interned in HF so have some natural interest in fundamental analysis and secondary market. While seems PE is the direct exit and IBankers in HK only exit to Snowlake previously. Maybe I shall jump to Equity Research before join a HF.

Really struggled these days to make the decision. Scanned through tons of articles comparing PE and HF, and called many ppl. On the one hand, afraid I will hate PE as well since it’s the Banking 2.0, on the other hand, afraid I finally realized I can’t do well in HF and HF doesn’t really have a exit to others….
