Difficult to move into an IB Analyst role with 2+ YOE. More prudent move would be to get an MBA and go the associate route.

Reach out to people on LinkedIn, better yet if they’ve followed a similar path

You could go to a top masters of finance school like Vanderbilt

MBA to associate level instead

I know some people who passed level 1 of the cfa and used that as a proof point on their resume to then lateral into IB

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

I have looked into getting SHRM certification. But should I go back to school and get my masters in Hr?
