London, UK. Currently work in real estate finance for a retail/commercial bank. 2+ years exp in debt (mezz and senior). Graduated 2018 from UK target in Real Estate (around 1/5 modules were finance). Looking to get out of retail and move to corporate. Think IB might be a push but MBD at GS sort of think more likely. I’m doing CFI modelling course to get my skills up to scratch. Any other suggestions? I think CFA has slim to no value in my situation but open to hear otherwise. Cheers

I need help please, context below:
-I’m an AM at an internal creative agency for a Fortune 500 retailer.
-The AM team is newer, formed about a year ago. Only 1 of us had actual AM experience at an agency.
-A new VP of Account Management starts, observes the team and they’re not happy with us. Overarching feedback is our whole team is too passive.
I excel in leading by influence vs going to a place of power which I guess could be seen as “passive”? What would you do with such broad feedback?
