Having a hard time interpreting job posts

IB is easy, i just look for "investment banking analyst" and bam! but Asset Management has a million different roles and I don't know how to interpret them.

I'm trying to look at asset management positions where you analyze companies, build models, report to a PM if it's a fund...but the job titles are all unique.

what key words would i be looking for in the title or description so that I know I'll be doing a DCF on a company and not just doing the accounting for a fund

thanks

Modeling, DCF, LBO, Accretion Dilution Model, etc.
