HI there this is my second question. I have tons of (6yrs) experience IT systems for Fiancial markets, i have worked on a derivative/ equity trading floor. I am taking CFA Level 1 next june.
what are my options, how do i decide.
In terms of IT i dont know and i dont want to know any coding.
In markets, i love trading desk's, i love coming up with stock pics or derivaties stratergies. I have extremely good analytical abilty
but i dont like the phone, i cant make sales pitches.
whats my best choice, i would even consider ending up as a protfolio manager some day.
i need some one to guide me and explain my options, evaluate my strenghts and weaknesses and tell me my best course of action.
im 25 now, so i have time on my side.
from my current position the next logical step would be a Business Analyst in the IT dept of a large broker.
i can get that easliy pays about 75-80K but im not sure whether i want to go that deep into IT or not. PLEASE HELP CANT SLEEP BECOS OF THIS DILEMA!

No answers in two days, so I'll make a couple of suggestions:
1) learn to use spell check. It's hard to consider you a serious person when you can't spell.
2) change your screen name. investing other people's money is a serious business, and "God's Chief Pilot" may sound cute to you, but it implies arrogance and self-adulation to me.
3). realize that you probably can't make the jump from IT (especially if you can't write code) to research unless you get a degree in a relevant field, such as investments, finance, or mathematics.
4) find a mentor in your organization to coach you on your next career move.
