Thanks for your reply Sophie! I will keep your advice in mind, and I’ll try to network as much as possible. It is a bit out of my comfort zone, but I will do my best.
I’d gladly avoid doing an MSc if possible, but I am thinking of applying nonetheless next year to have something to fall back on, should things not have progressed by September 2014. I’d mainly do it for the networking opportunities and to get back into the “graduate game”.
I was thinking of focusing on CFA level I for now, and starting to look for a new job in January; hopefully by then I will have passed level I and gained enough experience at my current job, and be in a position to apply for a more front office-type position. Would that be too long? I think that 6-7 months is probably the right amount of time to figure out how things work without necessarily confining yourself to a lifetime in that job (but I would welcome any feedback on this).
Another option I was considering would be to omit this experience from my CV if at some stage it becomes clear that it is holding me back; one year is not the end of the world, many from my class have gone travelling, and I could re-cycle myself into the graduate world by applying for graduate programs. Would this be feasible?
