What is my best option here?
My dream position is a trading desk at a hedge fund but I've got a long way to go on that journey. I've been told equity research is my best path to accomplishing this goal, but ER also really isn't an option for me right now.
Today I am a recent non-target grad with very limited opportunities. Hey, I might get lucky and find an ER role somewhere. Realistically though if I want to go FO I'm going Sales which honestly doesn't scare me that much. I'm most confident in getting into ops or pursuing a financial advisor role somewhere.
Even if people hate the advisor path I'm not opposed to it. If I can make it at a wirehouse there are much worse places to be. I might even eventually be able to go solo as an RIA and build my own hedge fund one day. However realistically again... Most people do not have what it takes to survive in sales so I might end this process unemployed again but with a newly acquired series 7 and 66. Is that even worth it?
That really represents my question on what do I do now. Do I go ops at a BB or do I look for a wirehouse job somewhere? My dream is to make it to a hedge fund or go solo one day, but I've got student loans I'm afraid of the sales path.
also if its any value to my goal I'm currently a CFA level 1 candidate already
