I would classify it as a performance analyst position.
Under “super-exciting”.
Probably the most “super exciting” back office role…
So glorified fund accountant?
I wouldnt go that far. It pays alot better and qualifies for CFA work experience.
performance analyst counts towards the work experience requirement??? are you being sarcastic?
Four straight hours? Like, in a row?!

“performance analyst counts towards the work experience requirement” i know plenty of performance analysts that are charterholders…so yes, somehow it does.

I’m a little shocked if they got that approved after the change. Although, I would say performance analyst is more deserving than compliance.
Good point, I have no idea. I haven’t looked at the changes, because I know my position is covered. Then again by the time I finish the charter in 2017, the requirements may change entirely.
