Ok, This is getting pathetic. As a corrolary to my does the CFA help thread. Where should I even start? I’ve been unemployed for a year and this blows. I want to be a PM like everyone on this board, but I’ve got a big 0 in the experience column. What the hell should I do???!?!?!?
You’ve been handing out resumes for a year with zero opportunities? Where are you located and what kind of education do you have?
Do you have a finance degree from SFU by any chance?
What’s wrong with SFU?
nothing, I just sat with a guy who got his masters from SFU. Just thought DBFINLEY might be this guy.
Nah im in the southeast.

I’m int he same boat. I recently received an MBA and an MSF from The Kelley School at IU. I think I passed L2 this time, but like the original poster, I have buckshot for experience other than some personal real estate and equity investing that is of no major consequence. In the past I have run extremely high end Audio Video companies for the owners. MTV cribs kind of stuff. The past couple of years I have been in tech support for one of the manufacturers trying to get my school done. I’m looking for both a career and life change. I’m with the original poster. Don’t really know where to start…
Yeah I’ve tried SunTrust Wells, even some bigger wealth management places like UBS for FA roles but can’t get anything. Same for commerical banking work as a credit analyst everybody seems to want some experience.
