Hi, I wanted to ask how do I break into asset management as an entry level. I have just graduated in July of this year with a Bsc Economics. I am planning to give the Cfa in February. I have been applying to off cycle internships but no luck so far. Most roles are graduate roles which I assume to be only for people who have just graduated. I am also considering to take this year as a gap year and do a masters in sept 2025 and then apply for graduate jobs. Kindly suggest what I should do as I feel really lost at the current moment.
Focus on applying for internships, network with professionals, and gain certifications like CFA to strengthen your resume. Taking a gap year for a master’s can also be a strategic move to boost your qualifications.

Most internships are for students and not graduates. A lot of the graduate schemes are also for recent graduates and not graduates that have graduated already for a while. How do you think I should strategise my job search now.
