PWM, Bachelor’s Degree in Finance Exit opportunities

Hello all,

I’m currently a Financial Advisor for a larger regional wealth management firm and I am looking for some ideas for exit opportunities as being an FA is not what I want to do long term. 
 

I enjoy the communication aspect and being able to explain my thinking to clients about investments and I do enjoy the sales aspect to an extent, but I really enjoy the research and analytical side. My firm pushes us to just use managers and push more products that sometimes are in the best interest of the client, i am realizing although the upside on money can be great that this isn’t the career I would want. 
 

I am still only 26 have a bachelors in finance and have AWMA. Thought I would look to see what some options are as I know PWM doesn’t typically offer the best exit opportunities. Open to ideas!
