Usually in most of banks they would pay you the CFA if you asked. This is less true now after the crisis. I even saw people in Middle Office or IT who got it paid and they were upfront with their boss saying that they wanted to leave their function.

To be frank, if a company is unwilling to pay 3-4k to invest in you, keep you happy and develop you as a person, maybe it is worth wondering whether they think you have any value ? If they refuse to sponsor specifically for a CFA but are open to other options it is different.

True!

It’s hard to say now the economy is not well in many countries and they cut corners wherever they can.

To be honest, they may NOT actually need that many CFAs in the company so they don’t really value what you have.

I will be working in a bank from next January. I registered for level 2 two days after receiving the offer and yeah so I paid with my own credit card. Not sure if I am eligible for the reimbursement.

Only one way to find out!
