Future exit opps trajectory from current career path
Hi guys, I've been doing some digging and can't really find anything that fit my situation so here goes.
I'm from Southeast Asia (non-Singapore) currently working in East Asia (not a huge financial hub e.g. HK/Shanghai).
After I graduated I took up a job in a domestic securities firm, since they set up shop in my home country and needed a local. I mainly did irrelevant admin stuff and some simple reports for subsidiary performance. Though I did learn the whole back office operations since I practically had to know all aspects to translate competently. Dead-end back office role, 2.5 yrs. Did my CFA lv 1 though.
I just jumped ship to a small regional bank this week, working as assistant relationship manager for overseas clients. Basically doing stuff for the real RMs like writing reports, loan extensions, change of terms, etc. Jumped partially since they are one of the few that can give me a front office role.
I might be repatriating home in the next 2-3 yrs, and fortunately the financial sector there is still small compared to Singapore let alone the US.
Was just wondering what would you make of my background? My long term goal is asset mgmt, or something in the capital markets realm.
Thanks in advance!
