Hey Guys,

My Background

Location: Mumbai India

Qualifications :

  1. Bachelor’s Degree from Mumbai University
  2. Cleared all three levels of CFA ( L3 in June 2018)
  3. Awaiting results of Final Level of Chartered Accountancy,to be announced in January

Career

I have no practical experience in the field of Finance,only experience that I have is in Accountancy and Audit as a part of Chartered Accountancy course

So my question is how do I approach in

  1. Finding the field in Finance that interests me
  2. Knowing what actually goes on in the field at the ground level
  3. Choosing the right company in the field I like

One suggestion I know of is talking to people who are working in the field (which I am planning to do) for that to work properly as well I need some help in asking the right questions in a structured manner

I don’t much about Mumbai, but some things that usually apply everywhere are the following:

  • Networking
  • Finance newspapers and magazines
  • Online research
  • Join groups or associations like a finance association
  • Talk to professors (if you still have contact with them)

Then why did you do CA if you are interested in finance?
