In this episode, I talk with Mike Jones, a research analyst for an investment bank.  After earning his PhD in Microbiology and Immunology, Mike went to a biotech start-up where he was first a postdoc and then a research scientist.  But he was also interested in business and so began working towards a Chartered Financial Analyst designation and a career in finance.  We’ll talk about his transition from bench scientist to analyst, but first we’ll find out what his current job entails and what his day-to-day is like.
