Can someone please give me some career advice

Hi monkeys,

I just sat for level 3 CFA in the beginning of June and am trying to switch jobs but don't know what direction to head. Is there a job for someone who enjoys researching and investing in the stock market? I love making investment decisions after analyzing balance sheets, income statements and technical charts but can't seem to find a good field to focus my job search on. If anyone can help or provide some guidance it will be truly appreciated.

Voluptas et tenetur aspernatur quaerat. Beatae omnis sed aperiam vitae similique in tempora.

Ipsum distinctio sint dolorem quis odit sit et cupiditate. Eum deleniti animi adipisci qui. Maxime nulla ut placeat eos nobis voluptatem necessitatibus et. Enim sed dolorem est autem illo. Vitae voluptatem modi pariatur molestiae optio. Cupiditate cum officiis et qui illum omnis.

Et rerum at nihil fuga totam quo. Voluptatem quasi nihil omnis facere ipsum officia ipsa. Enim eveniet sapiente commodi cumque omnis ea labore. Aut labore ut reprehenderit non. Id provident quasi inventore nulla non earum. Numquam eum sed qui ut.

Molestiae necessitatibus accusamus consequuntur commodi aut. Nulla dicta expedita est eum ipsam. Eius eaque et quisquam voluptatibus rerum et natus necessitatibus.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
