This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Thanks, appreciate it by Irish2003
I actually interned at a private wealth management office with one of the big firms as an undergrad, but am looking more at the actual investment management side (likely via equity research eventually leading to a PM role down the road) rather than a financial advisor role. Another thing I forgot to mention earlier is that I plan to start the CFA process by taking the Level 1 examination this summer, which I think could open some doors down the road, but I also want to try and find a job where I can learn in the meantime. Geographically, I am currently in Chicago with a slight preference to staying here, but am very open to moving for the right job.
Appreciate the advice, and please let me know if you think of anything else.
