Ohk... I have heard that there are shops in Mumbai which sell xerox CFA notes... Let me see if I can get some info on them... We will need more people to share the notes cost if we want to order the latest. We can start with the xerox available already and then with time I am sure more people will be joining us and we can order the newest set. Wat say??

Till the time there is any notification from CFA institute... we can follow the Dec 09 thread... a lot of information is available there...and going through the thread.. a lot of querries will get solved.http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/career...er-2009-a.html (CFA Level 1 December 2009)
and regarding the center.. last june(june 09 exam) it was decided at the last moment that test can be conducted in india so we can hope(read hope only) that same happens next year too.

Hi All,

Regarding examination center in India, June '09 exam was held in India, mumbai being the centre. However, Supreme court has not given permission yet for the december '09 examination. But the chances are that in future as well the examination will be conducted in India. Lets hope it does!

All the best!

hiii everyone......

I am an IT proffessional. I am aiming for CFA level 1 jun 2010.
Can anyone suggest what sort of opportunities i will have once i clear level 1 and what career direction I should go after that..i.e whether I ll have to go for level 2 straightaway or i ll need some work ex in this field or i ll need to do MBA...

[NilanjanB]

If you are interested to enter the finance domain then you need to go for the next level. But you can take your time as there is no time limit to appear for the next level.
Also IT companies in the BFSI domain do value CFA and in that case you might get some value even for level 1.

[Prashant02]

Actuallly i was just curious to know whether Mba would be necessary or I should do level 1, optionally change my domain to get some real world experience and go for level 2 or just prepare for level level 2 then go for a domain change. i hope you do understand my query.

[NilanjanB]

Well only with a level 1 and w/o any finance background I am not sure if it will help in switching domains.
