Hey everyone!
I'm new to the website. I've been in the investment industry for 3 years and I am looking for advice on how to break into investment banking. I'm interested in getting career path information on becoming a research analyst. I'm still learning a good deal about various roles in the investment industry. So, please set me straight if I seem to have any misunderstandings.
My current role is as a back-office principal for a small investment adviser that falls under a large credit union's umbrella. We provide support for over 400 investment reps in our network, along with operations and trading services for end clients.
Thanks in advance!

Someone in the back office looking to transition to banking is hardly a unique situation. That is practically the backbone of WSO. Either that or non-target to banking. There are literally thousands of posts on this site of people trying and/or succeeding in doing this, so try the search bar.
Sorry. The reason I say unique situation is because I work for an adviser that is a subsidiary of a credit union with little-to-zero sales pressure. It's a unique environment because we are probably one of the few investment advisers/brokers that is kind of not-for-profit. FINRA looks at us during audits and doesn't understand. They ask questions that don't really apply to our business model. It's kind of comical.
