Job Advice Needed!!

Hey guys,

Quick background info first...Graduated in May with honors from a state university, Finance major with minor in International Business, past internship in management consulting and a capitol hill internship, CFA Level I Candidate (Dec. 2010) and sports extracurriculars. I am hoping to break into some type of analyst related role either for a major bank or a fortune 500 company. I want to work with financial models and some type of financial/investment analysis (career/fit ideas??)

Right now I am working part-time for a financial advisory firm as a financial planning assistant with responsibilities of Monte Carlo simulations, creating high net worth income statements and admin related work. I took this job because it was the only one I could find in my geographic area (think top 20 metropolitan area)

These are my choices (hopefully) I am currently interviewing for....

1.) Financial Analyst for a Fortune 1000 corporation

2.) Audit in Investment Management division of a bank (think Wells Fargo, RBC, SunTrust)

3.) Wealth Management Associate at a boutique wealth management firm
