hi!how to be a Financial Analyst(have related Msc Dedgree) with a working history in Finance Service?Thanks!?
Hello everyone. here's an urgent question since i've been trapped in for a long time. I studied Msc in Investment Analysis 2 years ago, and worked in Finance Service area after that. just a few months ago, i realized that that was not the job i would love to do, so i quit it and trying to find a job in Financial Analysis or finance risk management.(apparently it turned out that i made a wrong decision. don't know if this this job-loss will affect my future jobs) at the moment, i am looking for a entry level job to start, also thinking about to post my cv to companies to get some working experience. could anyone here give me some guidance on this? you are very very welcome to give me any advice on small details, if you don't mind.thanks very much for your help!

Here is a secret that colleges never tell you: There is no such thing (or nearly none) entry level financial analysts. Financial analysts are nearly always CPAs and you cannot become a CPA with anything other than an accounting degree, 2 years of public audit and passing the CPA exam. The only other way I have seen, is to take a job in accounting and work your way up. In case you haven't noticed, banks & investment companies are either dead, or dying. Laying off millions in great big waves. First the banks & mega-corporations decimated American manufacturing & now they are doing the same to their own industry. You need to find a job, any job and then keep looking for your "perfect" job. Good luck

try big four - PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) - KPMG - Deloitte & Touche - Earnest & Young these are the big four auditing firms... i would've told you to go to investment banks, but as you sure notices that there is a crisis going on, and lot's of these investment companies are downsizing now, and surely not hiring. but in the other hand, assurance companies (mentioned above) have financial advisory lines of services and enterprise risk management as well, and will be busy for the upcoming 10 years. more regulations, needs more audit control, risk management, governance and compliance controls.
