First you should do 2 things ->
Don't expect that you will just get all information in one post.

1. Read this thread from beginning. It's important.

2. And, go through CFA Institute Home . Official website of CFAI. After this if you have any query, shoot it.

Hi Puys,

I am planning to take the CFA L1 exam in Dec 2009. I am a s/w engineer from bangalore having a slight knowledge of finance because of the domain and company I work with. I am interested in pursuing a career in finance because of my interest in it. Could you guys who already have cleared Level1 exam tell me whether there is any possibility of getting a job in a finance company after clearing CFA L1 exam.

Which material among Stalla, Schwieser and that provided by CFA itself is best to prepare for the exam?
