What are possible career paths for a charterholder?

ER and PM/AM probably takes the bulk of it, but what other areas would the CFA charter be useful in? How useful would it be in IB? Insurance? etc.?

Insurance? etc.? The CFA is useful in insurance to the extent that you’re working with their asset management team/investment department - it would still fall into the PM/AM bucket. Actually, the PM/AM bucket is so broad that I’m not sure you’ll get many other areas it would be useful. The only one I can think of is consulting, but that’s equally as broad.

I saw an advertisement for Mcdonalds which stated: ‘CFA desirable but not required’

Hahaha… actually, the KPOs here are slowly turning into high end call centres, slowly more and more KPOs are asking their employees to do graveyard shifts, in name on “live support”.
