Entry-level outlook

Entry-level positions (e.g., junior research assistant, data organizer) are significantly narrowing as AI can efficiently handle information aggregation, preliminary analysis, and report generation. However, demand remains stable for analysts with financial qualifications and strategic thinking.

🚀 How to level up in the AI era

Shift from data-driven analyst to strategic advisor: after mastering AI tools, focus on investment logic building, asset allocation optimisation, and risk management. Pursue CFA and other certifications, build industry network, and progress to investment manager, chief analyst, or private equity specialist. AI is a powerful assistant, not an adversary.
