Close relationship with owner which led to lots of instruction on the ins and outs of the world of investing. I picked up some great resources for continual research along with a strong understanding of financial instruments. Additionally, I got a look into the profiles of individuals' personal finance which gave me an idea of the variety of realities people live in.
What I wish was different
I did data management. I worked a good deal on creating a web-scraper and scripts to organize data. I found that the website Morningstar was incredibly difficult to pull data from. This created a great growth opportunity for myself, but also took time away from creating actionable results for my company.
Advice
Personal networking is where I've gotten all of my (quality) job offers up through now. I've attended conferences found on Meetup and Eventbrite along with using a networking app called shape to meet people across the country involved in industries of interest to me.
