Hello I am pursuing a Msc in Financial Engineering with a goal to work in Atlanta. End goal is to apply the fin engineering concepts in public and private fin markets. That sounds broad but maybe I can get some tips on how to think about it. I want to learn how to invest in the stock market particularly, My background is in Fin Ops and fin front office sales. Should I start by getting a job in equity research after graduation? What are top research or asset mgnt firms in Atlanta? Thank you!
