how to get into business

I will soon be graduating in about a year and a half, and am wondering on anything I need to prepare for to get into ER, such as series licesnes, CFA, modeling skills or what.
what would be most beneficial for me to acquire and sharpen up on?

 

In order to prepare yourself for ER, I recommend that you resign yourself to the reality that there will be zero decent exit opportunities from that dept. You certainly won't be lateraling into any prestigious hedge funds or anything like that. Basically, you should treat it as a shit job to kill time between now and your MBA.

I exited sell-side research to buy-side. I could imagine hedgies could be an option too. I have also heard some are climbing up the sales&trading corporate ladder. Not sure where should I progress next, any pointers?

I'll have to agree though, that buy-side research doesn't offer a lot of value at the moment.

 

I left equity research to work in PE/LBO. Had interviews at several of the large-cap hedge funds before deciding that public equity wasn't my thing anymore. My guess is that either "mark klen md" couldn't hack it in finance, or should just stick to topics that he's knowledgeable about (obviously finance and medicine are not among them).
