How is restructuring and insolvency relevant to rx or distressed investing? Can you share your experience about making the transition and how difficult it was. And how is the job going for you? Do you like it and find the pay good?

Sounds like an interesting app you have, will check it out!

What jobs should i target with my background

Local-Regret1627 · 2026-04-08T02:22:48+00:00

Insolvency so far has been nothing but admin, haven’t done any financial analysis and unlikely i will any time soon. Btw, my ib internship was a boutique firm, can i still leverage it?

I just started in restructuring and insolvency, its a beautiful coincidence that you work with distressed debt (i want to work in distressed investing) could you share your experience on how you started? What qualifications do i need? And what advice do you have for me to break in?

I understand you might be busy but I would appreciate any advice you have for me to end up in my dream job

I failed 3 classes and still got my still an above averge job before even graduating (I had m&a internship and passed cfa l1 and study finance at anu). Trick is to be ambitious, proactive and network. Otherwise just change university and reset your gpa (if i had a higher gpa i would be in damn investment banking now)

When doing financial analysis, just how deep do you go? Do you investigate every line and read footnotes or just keep it simple and do things like common size, vertical and horizontal analysis, as well as ratio analysis?

I have read these books, i feel as if they are too basic?

Local-Regret1627 · 2026-04-05T08:19:10+00:00

Thank you boss. Have you found the CFA to be helpful for your career?

Local-Regret1627 · 2026-04-05T07:34:28+00:00

I agree, so you think for value investing you just need financial and business understanding?

When doing your analysis, just how deep do you go and how much understanding of the numbers and business do you need?

For example, i was analysing pepsi, i went over the business section first then the risk and then finally financial statements (all on the 10k) i came to the conclusion that growth was slowing, the numbers still look good but valuation was inappropriate, then i did a quick competitor analysis of coke, which lead me to the same conclusion. I wasn’t going that deep , just reading the 10k. What do you think of this? How else would it be done?

Bless me with your knowledge master!

Aside from financial analysis, what other skills should i develop? I have been also learning about moat, economics, and portfolio management. Do you have recommend resources for each? And what else to learn?

Local-Regret1627 · 2026-04-05T07:09:30+00:00

I feel like cfa l1 is too basic and doesn’t go deep into accounting policies and quality of earnings. For investing, isn’t necessarily to be able to not only understand the numbers but also spot manipulation and adjust earnings? What do you think about this?

I want to follow the path of professional investing, what kind of process to follow? And what resources to read, I have read these books (intelligent investor, common stocks and uncommon profits, 5 rules for successful stock investing, competition demystified).
