Education, generally speaking, this industry, at least graduate students from prestigious schools, is generally only a necessary condition, but the prestigious schools here are actually quite extensive, such as 985 in China, 2 1 1, famous schools in Europe and America and so on.
If there is a certificate, CFA and CPA are excellent, but if there is no certificate, there is no big problem.
But personally, I think the most important thing is your performance in the interview.
If you want to enter this industry, you must show your competitive advantage when recruiting. Generally speaking, the resumes of those who can attend the written interview are not bad, so what makes you stand out is the interview.
In an interview, you may examine your own thinking logic and how to use your language organization ability, because in a group meeting, you must be the most logical person to lead the discussion. This comes from your usual thinking, especially your ability to quickly form a solution.
Professional interview examines your knowledge of related fields, which requires you to accumulate more in your usual internship, read more industry reports and extract more views different from the market. Simply put, just wear some.
The focus may be different in the subdivision you want to engage in, but whether you are a futures researcher, a macro researcher, an industry researcher or a quantitative researcher, you must have an industry-recognized research framework. This framework may be top-down, from the international and domestic macro, policy to industry perspective. It may also be from the bottom up, from products to industries.
I suggest you search more for the logical framework and experience of some predecessors, such as the cultivation of Huang Yanming of the seller Guotai Junan, such as the cultivation of Shenwan and CITIC. You can also refer to the buyer's investment philosophy, such as Qiu Guolu and Wang Yawei.
I hope I can help you. This industry is an industry that forces you to make continuous progress, and the competition will be fierce. I wish you success in getting tickets for this industry.
