Career growth opportunities for trade support employees may vary, depending on the industry, the firm's size, regulatory requirements and staffing needs.

Or, he can seek a professional certification such as the chartered financial analyst (CFA) designation. A competent and skillful trade support specialist may move to a senior position within two to five years.
