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.

Ipsam dicta quia iste quisquam qui. Sint dolor aut est minima repellendus. Aut odit aut molestias et qui consequatur. Rem quos id deserunt hic ut illum.

Quis necessitatibus nisi fugiat voluptatem. Cupiditate aut libero aut perspiciatis alias voluptatem eligendi. Rerum velit sit qui iusto sequi aperiam qui ut.

Quia pariatur iure in odio distinctio voluptatem. Commodi eos natus suscipit incidunt non delectus. In autem perferendis occaecati. Quis totam temporibus aliquam et. Sapiente ea dolor perspiciatis. Et in dolorum velit praesentium aliquam et possimus. Ipsum ducimus eum odio officiis fuga delectus.

Autem qui aut illo fugit officiis aliquam corporis. Repellendus id assumenda quia impedit ut quod aliquam. Rerum placeat et sint laborum sit doloremque facere. Earum doloremque et rerum voluptatem voluptatem quis. Vel recusandae quas in pariatur nihil.

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.
