Hello Sabiha,

Hard to say exactly because you did not include very many details. What I can say is that at Davis Selected Advisers our analysts, when hired, had a number of unique backgrounds, ranging from: just having left graduate school (me); to having worked as a journalist; to having worked as an analyst within a specific business (multiple such cases); to having graduated from with a liberal arts undergraduate program, but being very persistent in the hiring process; to working as an accountant for a number of years; to having been a childhood friend of one of the officers; and so forth. My main points are all contained within the original post. Most important of which is to know yourself and what you want. Number two is to develop a skill set that would lead you to hire you if you were the one doing the hiring; and number three is to make those skills tangible for strangers.

I hope that helps!

Best wishes for success,

Jason
