I feel Pursuing a moderately tough course like CFA and completing it successfully....is quite a ask....for a guy like me who is all alone doing it.....i would like to know persons who are also pursuing the same course...no matter if they are at the differnt levels of the course,......i feel this would benefit us both ways as we can share our common problems, develop strategies,recommend study materials to each other....thus making an effort to accomplish our goals without any hiccups.....i would particularly be more interested in persons who are from Pune itself....as it will make communication travel clear n easy.
Waiting for replies,
Arijit.

This thread is for the people you are persuing CFA from the CFA Institute USA .You seem to be doing it from ICFAI.For the ICFAI students there is a seperate thread .Post your query there.

redash4u,

I am also looking to gain some finance experience and am just wondering if anyone would take an engineer for a finance-related position. I am an engineer with 3 years software development experience. I too plan to do MBA in finance some time later and am thinking of ways to get some experience in this field before going for an MBA.

How did you manage to get trainee analyst position in your firm inspite of being an engineer ? Did you have any finance-related qualifications by that time ?

I am ready to quit my Senior Software Engineer postion and join a finance-related position, even if it involves compromise in the salary I draw. Your thoughts on this would be very helpful.

First of all is this a statement or a Question.If it is the former I fail to understand how you are able to arrive at such a conclusion .Did you attend the hearings or did the CFAI ppl call to up to appraise you of the fact that they are not bothered about the situation.
Since you are an old member I would not have expected such a thing ,a newbie coming and making such comments is understandable but someone with 170+ posts is not.

Hi, I am an MBA 1st year student..I want to do my CFA level 1...I have a specific query..but please excuse me if it has earlier been asked..100 pages and I found this thread only a coupla mins back!

If I take my CFA in June or December? When will the results be available?

Basically, the information about the number of days from date of exam that the results become available, would help me decide if I need to take the CFA in June 2008 or December 2008!

Nervously waiting for tomorrow's court proceedings' outcome and praying for a positive verdict so that I can take L1 this December according to my plan.
