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.

Sequi ea nam voluptatibus dolor officia ex repellendus. Est alias eveniet inventore culpa quis sunt. Expedita aliquam quisquam voluptatem vero a aliquam. Voluptatem voluptate est corporis consequatur est sit provident.

Incidunt suscipit dolores doloribus consequatur laborum. Aut placeat est in repellendus odit nihil.

Doloremque ducimus asperiores magnam cum cupiditate est corporis minus. Aspernatur recusandae sapiente dignissimos in ducimus impedit in. Ad accusantium dolorum provident beatae ea molestiae. Officiis sunt assumenda culpa non occaecati consequatur. Porro voluptas doloremque voluptas cumque dolorum.

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.
