I got my MBA one year ago. and worked as a marketing Research Analyst. but can’t give up my passion on Finace, so I took CFA level last Dec. Amazingly, I passed. --well I worked very hard. Now I am taking L2 on June with you guys. lxada269: you said your company is hiring people with no prior experience. Can they hire me? I hardly have experience in investment and smart enough to understand basics. i should make a perfect candidate, right?

regulatory reporting for a noted investment bank. it’s the pits, really, so i’m hoping the cfa gives me some leverage. i’ll probably be able to switch out at the end of 18 months (the grace period we have here) because i passed level 1. i’m 22, so i think time is on my side.
