I am currently working at CIBC Mellon as a Senior Fund Accountant. Junior for about 1 year and Senior for about 1 year. I am interested in analyst type positions, but that is mainly due to my lack of experience in any other professional fields/options. Does anyone have any suggestions for positions that Fund Accountants can pivot into? I am really unsure of what my career goals are aside from surviving.
