Does the job hunt actually get easier?
I work in trade support at a bulge bracket. Newish grad from non-target with about 1YOE. In college I dreamt of working in macro strategy or doing some kind of research, but that didn’t happen. Does having 1YOE offer much help at all when applying to new roles? Would I still be looked over for some student at a target?

If you want to be in research / macro strategy, get your CFA and in the process network as much as possible. Consider a pivot role now into something technical like pricing/ market risk/ asset management etc

Nope, don’t mind. Feel free to DM

A lot of job hunting is dumb luck. At least it's been in my case, and it cuts both ways.

Let me tell you, I love the flexibility at my firm, OK pay, and I do a great job, and am comfortable pushing back when I have too much work .

I literally cannot since I have a family and my daughter is only in day care a few hours a day, I'm already doing my max work. Is it crazy that I may want to leave Bc I hate making ppl miserable?
