This could involve pursuing certifications relevant to your field, like CFA or Series exams, or expanding your knowledge in related areas, such as data analysis or programming. For instance, becoming proficient in Python for financialmodeling can distinguish you as an indispensable team member.
But I want to be fair, so I will present their positives and negatives here.
