I think part of the problem is that most people don’t know these schools or companies. So hiring managers tend to look for candidates from top candidates from America schools or well known global institutions, and there are plenty of supply of people there already Yea you did 1class at LSE OK that’s known, but 1class. The problem is that too many people believe passing CFA exams will entitle you a good job. That’s just totally untrue, there’s far too large a supply already of people who passed 1 2 or 3
