What you do mean when you say "investor"? Do you mean an I-banker? A research guy?

What I have observed over the years is that sales and trading guys can go anywhere but often like staying "close to the action." A pure research role may not be a good fit.

Good Luck--

Thank You for your response, Paxton. By Investor, I meant an Investor in I-Banking, with long term prospects in investing in companies or assets with good fundamentals, etc. Do you think, I can convince the Adcom easily on this transition in the longer term? In the shorter term, I will focus my career on Sales and Trading.

Thanks,
