I keep deliberating as well whether I should go into equity research or not.
I'm a CA doing FP&A for an O&G company, but always wonder about a switch to ER, and whether it would be a good move, or whether it would essentially lead me back in a circle after a few years as an Associate (assuming I don't make the jump to analyst).
There's also a good chance I may have to move to NY in a few years as my significant other pursues a career there, so that's been weighing on me too, as it may be easier to find a job there with an ER background in Finance, rather than just another accountant. Oh life decisions, if only you could see the future...
To the OP, I'm sure whatever decision you make won't be a wrong one.
In any event, there seems to be a few of us here in the Finance/Accounting world. We should do a CP meetup sometime and grab a few beers, networking never hurts.
