I’m a marketing data scientist, skilled in ML and predictive modeling, currently pursuing a master’s in behavioral economics. I’m exploring a move into risk management or quant trading and would love your advice on: 1) Any must-have resources or certifications, especially to complement my master’s in behavioral economics? 2) Suggestions on connecting with risk/quant professionals and demonstrating genuine interest? 3) Is it realistic to move from marketing to finance in this fashion?

Good work on the master's.. your background is a great foundation. For certifications, I'd consider CFA, FRM, or CQF. To network, I'd keep reaching out here, trying LinkedIn 2nd and 3rd connections, finance meetups, or conferences. You can always demonstrate interest by staying informed about market trends. Transitioning from marketing to finance is realistic from what I've seen, and your data and modeling skills are valuable!

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
