So this is my first post on here, I’m just looking for some advice from those who may have been in my position, are in my position, or understand the career opportunities that a CFA accreditation grants…I just graduated from undergrad majoring in Finance from a decent business school (not top 10, more like top 25). I just started my first job working in MO role for a large bank. I’m set on advancing my career at a young age into front office, or maybe outside of the large bank world as an analyst for PE/HF/some sort of investment firm. I want to progress into a finance/analyst role. I’m debating registering for the CFA level 1 this upcoming June, and I wanted to hear from anyone who has experience with the CFA, specifically what sort of career opportunities the certification opened up for you? Also, anyone who can relate to my current position, any advice for navigating myself into such a finance/analyst position? Thanks, all input appreciated.
sign up. pursue the charter. but don’t expect miracles in landing a FO job.
welcome.
