it is pretty difficult to crack right out of school, and im not sure if id recommend it. you want to be an analyst? try to get a bank to train you for a cpl years then move over to a fund if you still want to be on the buyside.
then again...some large funRAB are training analysts right out of school
best of luck to ya.
feel free to PM any questions. I spent very little time on the sell side and never in banking , so I wouldnt be much help in that regard.
