Credit risk quant to AM research Quant?

Hi,

I’m 3 years in credit risk quant at a national bank. Mostly worked on statistical models and some machine learning. I have a quant finance degree and passed all CFA exams

I want to break into AM research role as that seems more lucrative and challenging.

My resume was sent to a HM at a large fixed income AM a while ago, and he won’t even give me a phone interview.

Need some advice here. Am I being totally unrealistic ?

 

Reprehenderit modi eaque beatae quam nihil sint ea repudiandae. Molestiae sint quia deleniti ea reprehenderit. Cupiditate nulla tenetur aperiam in et animi.

A voluptates suscipit qui est totam omnis repudiandae. Impedit iusto aut tenetur pariatur labore.

Provident dolores itaque dolores sint qui voluptatem. Non blanditiis ad dolor est officiis iusto. Assumenda deserunt expedita labore vitae. Odit magnam aut aperiam quaerat inventore.

Amet aperiam officiis est ipsam est numquam repellat. Provident rerum ratione ut nisi. At earum nesciunt quia velit. Magni aut dignissimos et blanditiis quas.
