Seeking Advice for Career Move

Hi everyone - thank you for reading my post!

I currently work at a large firm in the financial services industry as a financial analyst (Corporate Finance function, specifically BU FP&A). I graduated this past Spring with a finance degree from a large state school in the US with a 4.0 GPA. I founded a club, was a TA for a class, and also was a part of the endowment's student-managed fund. I found a deep passion for investment analysis/recommendations through the student-managed fund.

I am actively seeking opportunities in asset management and research, but I am very open-minded to any career that aligns with my interests. Does anyone have open roles on their team or have advice for making the jump from corporate finance? I appreciate all your thoughts!
