Looking for advice on getting a job in asset management - I have 2 years of unrelated experience

Seeking out advice on how best to make a career pivot at age 25. I am sitting for the CFA III this year and currently working in a quant researcher capacity. I would really like to have a hand in the investment decision making process - something not possible in my current role.
