Portfolio Management vs Career Analyst
I am at a crossroads in my career. I have been doing buyside research for about 7-8 yrs and am debating whether I want to be a career analyst covering a sector or two for years or transition into portfolio management. Each has its pros and cons. It seems to me that portfolio management is more about judging people's recommendations, knowing which questions to ask when pitched a stock, and thinking about overall portfolio risk and correlations among the securities in the portfolio. I enjoy my current role, but after researching the companies so long, it can become routine.
Thoughts on PM vs career analyst route? Thanks. |
