equity research career

hi there,

pardon my ignorance ,can someone give me insights on trading as a career ? i understood hours are normally 9-6

but how much one can earn on an average in india . also one of my friend told me grads are not hired for trading , is that so ? can skills such as financial modeling or vba help ? can a cfa l1 help?

also which are other career options in finance / accounts with working hours not more than 12hrs a day

ER , although interests me, but people have to work more hours on earning season so i am not sure of this career .

any suggestion would be appreciated.

thanks!!

I wish I was in the position to dictate my working hours in ER. I would work 18 hour days for an entry level ER role and be glad to do it

^ I wonder if you’d say the same once you’ve done it…
