Equity Research Career w/ Stutter

Hi everyone,

I am a rising sophomore who attends a none- target school and I have a moderate to severe stutter. I am really passionate about having a career in finance and equity research really captures my attention. Is there a lot of client interaction and how essential are verbal communication skills in ER? I don’t let my stutter stop me from accomplishing anything but would like to know how it would be for me and what I should do to better my chances. Any tips in terms of networking, interviewing, or anything else will be deeply appreciated as well.

Thank you!

True. I spend a lot of time on calls with the coverage companies. Clients are handled mostly by the investment advisors though.

“Destiny is a gift. Some go their entire lives, living existences of quiet desperation, never learning the truth that what feels as though a burden pushing down upon their shoulders is really a sense of purpose that lifts us to greater heights. Never forget that fear is but the precursor to valor, that to strive and triumph in the face of fear is what it means to be a hero. Don’t think. Become.”
