Switching from Risk to ER/Trading
Hi everyone,
I've been working as a (Trading) Risk Analyst for a MM broker dealer for about the last year and a half, but I'm looking to switch into either trading or equity research in the near future. I graduated just under two years ago from a private target school (analytics and econ majors), and my only really relevant work experience is in my current role. My firm definitely has a well-respected research department, and more average trading desks, if I was to make this sort of move internally.
My main question is: what are some ways that I can make myself more desirable as a candidate for either trading or research?
I've already passed CFA level I and I'm planning on taking level II in June if it's still beneficial. I also plan on taking the Series 7 and 63 later on this year. Aside from this, I know for research I'd need to brush up on modeling, and I've been able to work with a decent amount of traders and trade admins in my current role.
To keep this short, if you guys have any suggestions for ways I can improve my chances at making this type of move, or if you have any insight to help me decide between trading and research, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
