2nd year Corporate analyst seeking career advice

Hi all,

I am coming to the end of a 2 year rotation program at JPMC(corporate financial analysis and program management) and I’m seeking a career in Asset Management/research. I would really appreciate if those with a Cfa and/or M.B.A. share this career perspective on how it has supplemented their careers. In the short term future I’m seeking an investment analyst role before deciding what in AM I want to pursue.

Talk soon,

BG
