Seeking Advice for Suitable Career Path
I am a 3rd year undergrad studying finance. I have a rough idea of the different careers in financial services. I have some thoughts on possible paths but just not sure which ones might be best for my personality, strengths, and weaknesses. I'm tired of reading job descriptions and completing all of the crap surveys online. I want to hear advice from those actually practicing in these fields based on d2d experience. Any suggestions of a suitable path based on your knowledge and experience would be greatly appreciated. Here are a few points about myself:
- I am a strong communicator; I am very good at managing relationships and enjoy giving presentations
- Enjoy negotiating
- Strong writing skills
- I enjoy working with others but many times I feel like I need to control and lead
- I love entrepreneurship; I have started several companies with one being quite successful, I manage a mentorship/incubator program at my school that provides micro-loans to HS students and at risk youth (my favourite hobby)
- I will be starting a part time internship at an IB bank working on a PE project over the summer
- I will bust my ass for money. At my age I have no problem working long hours (no real family obligations)
- >5 hours of financial modeling a day would drive me insane
- I am the President of my Uni's investment club and do enjoy investing but do not think I could manage wealth for a living. Strong proficiency with BB too.
Thanks for any advice. I really do appreciate it!
Equity research? Might have to do a fair bit of modelling though
Sales and trading (sales)?
