I have been working in Asset Management Operations for what seems like forever (7 years) and I want to move into Portfolio management but don’t know how to make the switch. I passed level 3 a few years back and was hoping that would help but I have only had one internal interview in the past year. I would appreciate any advise offered:-)
If you can’t get internal interview start looking elsewhere.
7 years in Ops doesn’t translate to portfolio management.
you have been doing the same job too long so people auto-assign you to Ops now.
Yeah unfortunately there is no path from Ops straight to PM. You have to bridge your skills in something in-between if you want to wind up in PM eventually, which will take a few years probably. But you would likely want to get out of Ops as soon as possible so you aren’t wasting much more time with it, no matter what it is.
