The long run of the bull market during the 1990s drew many people to the fast-paced, number-sexy world of high finance. The allure of a good salary and of gaining valuable financial knowledge through experience makes a business career a popular one.
However there are a limited number of high-ranking financial professionals such as equity analysts and investment bankers. "Generally, you need an advanced degree and usually some type of accreditation," said Edward, a financial professional in the investment field. "You don’t see too many ‘vice-president of finance’ postings in the newspaper." The Internet can play a valuable role in a financial job search. "Public companies are required by law to provide financial documentations, but private companies aren’t, so it’s a lot harder to find information about them," he said. Edward finds professional association sites, such as the Association for Investment Management and Research, the most helpful to his job search as he looks to advance in his field.
The following are some sites you may find helpful as you search for a career in finance.
