Hey All

Hi all,

I'm a soon to be graduating senior with a BBA in Finance. Over this past summer, I was an intern at a local investment bank doing mostly investment research and risk management. Before that, I was an intern on a project management team at a growing biotech incubator(mostly cost modeling for solar panel installations) I have an especially high interest in equity research and money management. Thought it'd be best to network with other Finance professionals and ended up here. Look forward to the discussions.

Best,

If your interested in equity research start studying for the CFA. Wasn't really my interest, however I've had 2 ER interviews both of which asked me if I was planning on taking the exam. Passing level 1 will open up some doors.

Also check out some of the players in the mutual fund space for ER positions, it slightly less competitive.
