ultimately this is the type of position i would liek to be in, only based out of my home city, i just want to know how good do you have to be to get a job like this, i plan on spending a few years as an auditor to get a ca designation while i write the cfa exams. if i get a few years of corporate finance/valuation experience at a big four or mid market IB(perferably in structured finance or restructering) Could i transition into a position like this if i show them that i know what im tlaking about?
Also is it possible for an analyst/pm in a position like this work in a city with a different time zone from the main office. Like if my company was based in london how likely would it be that they let a guy who lives on the west coast of n.america do some of their research and write trading strategies?
