You'd probably have to go for more junior roles in smaller firms (local boutique investment firms/family offices)

2. Pass CFA Level 2. Beef up your technical skills (3-statement financial modeling, investment due diligence, investment thesis formation). Show interest in the industry (pick a few sectors of interest such as Healthcare/Energy and know them inside out).

3. Most probably have to take a significant cut for the roles mentioned in point 1, but it depends. Can go to mycareersfuture for examples of some of these roles and their corresponding salary range.
Do you even know what you are talking about… PE and HF are buyside roles.
