Hi Credit research Associates/ Analysts in the fixed income space, what would be the best way to equip myself with enough knowledge to be qualified for a first year position? I don’t feel like what I do now is very intellectually fulfilling…I graduated college last year from a decent UC. I have 1 YOE in currency trading, pretty good knowledge with global macro and central bank stuff, preparing for CFA level 2 exam in November. I would really appreciate some advices! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing! That sounds like a very good idea, I will definitely do that.

I tutor cfa all levels let me know if you need help.

You can Dm me

Taking CFA is a pretty wise decision. Especially if you want to focus more on expanding your knowledge.

If you can model and know your way around the cap structure you’re more than qualified for a first year role.

Is the MBB name really worth it over Big4, T2, Boutiques in terms of exit opps?

Would love to hear from experienced hires who have insight into both types of exits (MBB vs other) to better comp and wlb (tech is ideal but any industry works).

I know type of case work factors heavily into opportunities but how much does the MBB name really open? Is that name recognition worth leveling down to grind for another few years?
