What sort of <span title="training/certification/experience">training/certification/ex...</span> does one need to become an investment broker/analyst?

Question

What is the demand for those positions?

Answer 1

Analyst:

1. Best: Top IVY league or business school. Harvard, Yale, NYU, Columbia, Wharton education. MBA in finance, econ +.

2. CFA level II, III

Broker:

3. As a broker all you need as a college degree, but even that is not mandatory.

Keep in mind that brokers are not analysts; and analysts are not brokers. One is a sales job (broker), the other interprets data (analyst).

There is always demand for talented hard working people who produce results.
