I recently started as a credit analyst in a large institutional fund on the Senior & Mezzanine Loan side. So far I like my job, my coworkers are great folks and I’m learning a lot, plus the hours don’t kill me like IBanking. I was wondering if anybody on this forum has done credit before, and whether they can provide a few nuggets of career advice for me.
I mean, the investing field is so board with some many possible things to do! Working hard is easy, but finding direction is hard, and that’s why I’m here o-wise ones!
My preferences:
-
Medium stress job, 8-6 work hours, no weekends, not often anyway. (Seems like I should stay where I am?)
-
Salary doesn’t have to be high, 6 digits in my 30s would be nice.
-
I like to talk and communicate, but being a car-salesman isn’t very fun (no offense to anybody). Is there a job where I can combine the CFA expertise with a talking role?
-
China. I can speak & read Mandarin fluently. Can I leverage that with #3 into something interesting?
Thanks in advance : )
