Interesting article. Considering a lot of your points seem more focused on a senior analyst position (meaning they are the ones who do most of the ‘salesy’ type work) is there room for junior ER associates to do more of the deep research stock picking conducive activities?
Said differently, if you’re a junior associate, presumably spending less time with clients (although please correct me if I’m wrong in that assumption) and are passionate about stock picking, can you spend that extra non client time to take initiative to perform and suggest analyses that are actually valued by the buy side?
It's fine to be passionate about stock picking, but your main focus should be supporting your analyst and team. If your analyst values industry connections, prioritize attending conferences, collecting LinkedIn contacts, and sharing insights with your analyst. Stock picking comes second.
Some honest feedback as a paid sub. First of all love the content. But i feel like a lot of your free posts should be paid and lot of the articles you do paid should be free. It feels like the most value add content you produce (which is gold) is what i was kind of expecting to pay for
Thanks for the feedback. It's always a tough balance on what to paywall and what to publish for free. I will take your feedback into what to paywall going forward.
My knowledge on funds is something I want to give away for free. Maybe that's not what you find valuable and not why you subscribed, but that's what got my decently sized paid subscriber base :)

Hope this helps.
