Islamic Bond Analyst - Viable Career?
Hey guys. I'm a senior graduating magna cum laude from a respectable but unknown state school this year. I recently was accepted into a masters program at the same university. I am taking Arabic classes and I'm doing well in them. Talking to one of my professors, he told me about analyzing Islamic bonds, which have their own quirks that need taking care of. I have a few questions:
1.) Is breaking into bond analysis possible from non-target?
2.) While the Islamic bond market is growing, what are my job prospects like?
3.) I wish to get my MBA in a few years, is bond analysis something that a good school would find acceptable?
I am open to other career paths, but I definitely want to specialize in the Middle East. I have no problem working in the Middle East, and if I were to work abroad I would also find it beneficial to volunteer as a micro-financier or as a teacher on the side if permissible.
My hope is that I can lever the masters to obtain a decent job, and then lever that to get into a good MBA program, further levering myself. I would like your opinions to see how realistic this plan is, and if it is as tenable as it sounds in my head. Thanks.
