What was your career path to land your current analyst position?

Hey Guys,

Is anyone willing to share their path to landing their current analyst position, specifically how they landed their first position requiring modeling experience? My background is in Big 4 audit (100% clients in the RE industry) and I am being held back by not having much modeling experience and my accounting background. In addition, we’re there any stepping stone roles to landing your analyst position? Any input would be appreciated!
