I'm looking to connect with Quantitative professionals, portfolio managers, or traders.

1) Any advice on honing specific skills and projects for entering Quantitative Investment Management roles would be greatly appreciated.

2) Also, what entry-level roles would you recommend?

My background: Masters in Operations Research, an MBA, and CFI Financial Modeling and Valuation Analyst certification. I'm truly passionate about investment analysis, enjoy watching Bloomberg news for hours.

No one would ever tell you about "quant role", its a vague term describing similar to "finance roles". In common its understanding of the markets, python and math. Your profile more fits fundamental analyst rather than quant. The market is now very challenging and you have to compete with MFE graduates, which makes it challenging. If you are really interested read white papers on investing, you can start with AQR and do own models and create signals. Its more about analyzing data rather than digging deep into particular company, make a DCF model and see whether it make sense to buy/sell it.

What title for this job description?
I want to switch roles from a creative director who oversees all aspects of the company’s creative (marketing campaigns and brand building mostly; also production, performance marketing ads, product design, managing design team) to focusing 100% on building our brand, educating both customers and employees about our value prop. I hate managing people or logistics and scheduling. What would this role be called? Do you see it as demotion from CD?
