How do I transition from Sales & Analytics at Bloomberg?
Hi! I currently am part of Sales & Analytics at Bloomberg , London - as my first job. The company culture is great and the role seems easy to manage in terms of having a steady job. However, I wish to do more in life. I have a Economics and Finance degree from a good university, and Bloomberg was kind enough to sponsor my visa and offer good pay. However, I have had core finance experience and have done internships in university in Trading, Private Equity, Consulting at banks and other medium sized firms.
I do not wish to stay at Bloomberg beyond a year maybe? Or even sooner? Or even later (depending on incentive)? But what I'm looking for is GUIDANCE. I wish to understand what I need to do to be able to break into a bank/hedge bund or a buy-side firm. I understand I wont jump into being a Trader at a BB from this role but i am willing to work up the ladder and be a banker. I am open to working in Investments, or any other middle to front office roles which are honestly just respected. I have worked hard towards finance and wish to figure my life out! I am 22 just by the way, still early, but a lot to achieve.
Kindly guide me how I can achieve the above! Is the answer to start applying for roles now? A masters degree? Thank you so much.
