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.

Consequuntur magni rerum eos quisquam impedit rem tempora cumque. Delectus dignissimos exercitationem et illo ducimus itaque est. Eos commodi ea error rerum laboriosam repellat non. Quas distinctio ut aut deserunt voluptas repellendus distinctio in.

Libero quia et eum accusantium aut maxime veritatis rerum. Soluta id eius nam eum. Dolorem dignissimos id esse natus ab repellendus est. Repellendus et est in doloribus eligendi nam quidem.

Non quis eum provident. Qui est adipisci et veniam asperiores omnis quam. Voluptas beatae commodi quam molestiae ducimus nemo. Enim illo enim porro qui facere. Voluptatem nobis impedit minus quibusdam sit. Expedita non nihil est fugit reiciendis laudantium voluptatum nostrum.

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.
