Some professionals stop learning once they become comfortable in their role
That's risky
Industries change
Technology changes
Expectations change
The skills that made you valuable five years ago may not be enough five years from now
You don't need to chase every new trend
But you should remain curious
Your career needs maintenance too.
One of the most sought-after roles in finance today is an Equity Research Analyst.
What does an Equity Research Analyst do?
An Equity Research Analyst researches listed companies on stock exchanges like the NGX and sometimes unlisted to determine their financial health, growth prospects and fair value.
They analyse financial statements, build financial models, forecast future earnings, value companies and estimate price targets. Based on their findings, they provide BUY, HOLD or SELL recommendations to help investors make informed decisions.
Skills required for this role include:
1. Financial statement analysis
2. Financial modelling and forecasting
3. Company valuation (DCF, P/E, EV/EBITDA)
4. Advanced Excel skills
5. Industry and macroeconomic analysis
6. Research, critical thinking and report writing
7. Understanding of the stock market and investment risks.
You don't just need to know how to read financial statements. You must understand the business behind the numbers and determine whether a stock is worth its current market price.
The ultimate goal of a Research analyst is to identify investment opportunities to investors.
When you don't know the answer in an interview? Don't guess or pretend.
Say: "I haven't done that before, but here's how I'll approach it."
Then explain your thinking step by step. Even if you don't have the answer, you show that you are honest and can solve problems.

Saying salary can never help is wild. It funds degrees, buys homes, seeds startups, and provides security. A salary gives you the leverage to build whatever comes next.

Finance careers explained simply
1. Investment banking. You help companies raise money or buy other companies. Think of the people behind big deals like the Dangote IPO. The pay is high, but the hours are brutal.
2. Corporate finance. You manage the money inside one company, like budgets, costs and big spending decisions. Steadier hours and solid growth.
3. Asset management. You grow other people's money through mutual funds, pensions and portfolios. Stable, well paid, and in demand as more Nigerians start investing.
4. Private equity. You buy stakes in companies, help them grow and sell later for a profit. Very high earning potential, but hard to break into.
5. Risk management. You spot money problems before they blow up. Banks and big companies always need these people.
Which one would you pick?

Accounting Concepts you should understand, not just memorise #2
Segment reporting (IFRS 8): A company may operate in several business areas, such as banking, insurance and asset management.

You need a new job by January 2027 but today is October 15 & you’re yet to submit those applications you saved somewhere, my friend, you’re not doing well.
If you ask me, I’ll say this moment is the last window to make any application provided you’re adamant in joining a new organization by January.
