anzo Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Financial analyst, but I'm packing it in to study law at uni next year.Good stuff I did a Health and Safety Diploma when I was 17/18, the law side was the best bit I thought.I've seen a few jobs in the City for Financial Analysts - is it any good (I'm guessing not if you're leaving)? I've been tempted to apply for the trainee ones, but the pay is stupidly low for a trainee and I can't help but think its a over-hyped job description?

Papa Manual Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 It’s a very broad name for a job that can be related to pretty much anything. Probably a third of what I do is administration so it’s a bit of a fancy title hehe. I work for a private equity investment manager so the work is very varied and can be reasonably interesting. You learn a little bit about everything as they invest in companies doing all sorts. The money is shit hot too (doubled my salary in two years) and there’s a fair bit of travel. My employer hires people in England/Switzerland/USA to do the same thing as me and they require at least a relevant degree, with a view to going on and doing something like CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst). It’s purely because it’s an employees market in Guernsey that someone like me with shitty AS levels can land a pretty good job just based on experience. In London it’s far more competitive and you’ve got to work a lot harder. Sometimes I feel that I haven't got any time to myself, especially with study too. Unless you want to sell your soul, I’d stick with IT.Law is going to kick ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
