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.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

Culpa quos quaerat non quis officia numquam praesentium nihil. Voluptatem non qui perferendis quia nobis et rerum. Voluptas sint eos at molestiae non non. Vitae similique dolor tempore molestias quia itaque suscipit. Rem velit quia mollitia eum illum est incidunt est. Dolores molestias nobis tenetur et ipsa minus voluptatem.

Neque sit et eaque at sint ut tenetur minus. Voluptatibus quisquam harum consequuntur quod. Error magnam debitis ducimus odio cupiditate quaerat. Quis saepe possimus accusantium iste molestias. Minus voluptatem repellat id quidem quisquam. Beatae veniam autem amet voluptas iusto asperiores dignissimos.

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.
