PS: I would like to send you a sample company financial model that I
prepared in Excel, but the website does not allow it. If I could email you
the model, hope that will help you understand my skill level. I am quite
adept at financial modeling since I took up a lot of relevant classes in
CMU's business school and those finance skills were sharpened after the CFA
exam that I took up. I am yet to get direct professional experience in
Research, but I am very passionate about the field and have the drive
toward it. I regularly attend Deutsche Bank's Research calls and speak to a
lot of friends who are working as Research Associates in the same office as
I do. I have carefully considered this profession for a few months now by
attending Research meetings, reading Research reports and developing models
myself. I am very positive about this profession and would hope that you
feel the same about me.
Thanks,
Bhavya Athmaram
