What Career Path / Exit if I have relatively lower IQ? (Serious)
Finished up my analyst stint and trying to decide my future path (has been a real struggle to find what I truly want to and am able to do successfully).
I know I don't really want to do anything modeling intensive or too technical and frankly don't think I'm that "smart" of a person. Excel and Powerpoint skills are maybe average and I don't really enjoy it either.
However, I DON'T actually mind working longer hours and have always been a hard worker and am fine with putting in 80+ hours a week if the comp is worth it, but again paths like HF, PE, etc don't work because I don't really think I'm high IQ. Not trying to post bait or anything I'm just honest with myself.
Think that rules out most exits outside of Sales, Wealth Management, Investor Relations and maybe some corp strategy type roles? (please correct me if wrong)
If helpful, I do enjoy watching public markets, looking at stocks, newsflow, CNBC, speaking with others, etc...which would obviously align with HFs but again think there is definitely a higher bar for intelligence there.
Perhaps this lends itself to Wealth Management instead given the more markets focus, but I'm not sure I could take such a massive paycut/uncertainty of building a book unless someone more established could take me under their wing.
Think Investor Relations at a publicly listed company could be a good compromise?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
