CFA isn’t really sought after in IB. Focus more on targeted networking at banks you want to work at, and understanding flow of financial statements, valuation models, etc.

You can try boutique and MMs. BBs most likely hard to lateral in and you aren’t eligible for campus recruiting.

I’d love to hear how you got into FP&A looking to venture into that

I joined through a program after my bachelor degree

Cfa is great for asset management roles

My partner and I are looking to move from NYC to Dallas in 2022. I’m in big law and he is a public interest lawyer. I can easily transfer within my firm, but he’s having trouble pinning down public interest opportunities in Dallas. It seems like they’re less available than NYC, but also not sure if we just aren’t looking in the right places. He currently does housing work but is passionate about civil rights and public benefits generally. Any tips on how to come by public interest opportunities?
