Career in Banking/ Audit / Financial Services

Hi guys, I've been working since the last 1.5 years as a customer service & operations analyst ( similar to process analyst/ operations analyst etc. ) in Retail Banking Ops and would like to upskill and switch to better roles ( where productivity and performance is not quantitative but qualitative as well). My target roles/job profiles are those where BAU is not confined strictly to copy paste tasks but stimulates intellect. Would appreciate suggestions/certifications / courses which will make my resume strong { strong enough to apply in mid-career roles in investment banks( for example JP Morgan), AMCs (BlackRock), audit firms (KPMG), financial services ( AmEx), banks with GCCs in India ( NAB ) } Thanks in advance.

Open request: looking for smart coders & data architect/engineers

Hey folks! GV is such an amazing community of super smart people. I hope this will be of help in my professional career. In selling generally you highlight the most important things first. This is not an attempt to sell but to build a long term relationship. Hence more of a story telling approach. Please excuse if you find this uncomfortable. Let's start. A little about me: sharp guy, with intellect and amazing pedigree, 6yrs exp. Great in strategy, business operations, finance. Trying to learn tech since last 4 yrs. Personally, hard to work with in a team, not a people pleaser but committed and loyal. Girls please excuse (find it more comfortable working with guys, not trying to discriminate just my preference) Okay so what i have done. Actions speak larger than words. Over the last 4 yrs I have developed deep understanding of tech world. I believe tech can be a great enabler in transformation of every business process today. So much that i am in an IT department today. i have built understanding of the high level systems, architecture, models, algos etc. But I can code properly. I am very bad at it. So what i want to do now. There are bunch of ideas that i want to try and build. But just stuck because i don't have the full stack development skills. I have made peace with coding inability because i can be good at every skill. Sharing these ideas openly for folks to copy and build. Ideas are just 10% of the work done and probably none novel but i still want to build for various reasons. In most cases, I am not looking to make money or business to build but more to transform current processes. Eg. Real estate - why is there no portal where tenants/buyers can rate landlords/sellers and provide feedback about them. Bom and blr is such a hot market. Brokerage is an unorganised market which nobroker is trying to solve. Energy - 24hrs electricity cost is 5-6rs as per government tenders but industries buy it at 10-12/unit. Rest in comments.
