hi everybody, I'm working as Whole Loan pricing analyst...have background like MA(Eco) & MBA(fin). Please suggest me what shall I consider for next level of study: CFA or FRM. Where will I have more continuity with my current profile...thanks in advance
Does clearing CFA and FRM level 1 before summer placements gives advantage over someone who has cleared only CFA or only FRM because they cater to different domains in Finance .

@ambitiousviolet from my individual experience I can tell you that if whatever you do , you do it well and are focussed on the process rather than the end result , you won't ever have to worry about anything else . I would say that "money" and "job" do have a significant role in one's life , no d...

yes but with an good mba, it will be easier.
without the mba, you will probably have to work a lot of angles to get in.

@zephyr_zephyr Wel that i have already done,that's why i wanted to inquire regarding my profile as a banker will be taken into consideration ,but i had a talk with a friend of mine who is cfa l2 and he is working as in same profile as i am working in, he said it is taken in investment cadre.

@thaparian :1)I agree. entry int IB depends upon networking. In job is highly sought after job. so in my opnion entry in IB depends upon:
1. MBA from IIMs
2.MBA from non IIM but reputable Bschool +relative/freind who can refer you in IB firm

are you working in a core field with SCM? if yes then it will be counted if you go through a SCM/Operations specialisations - CFA wont help - Try PMP.
if you want to do MBA in operations,then CFA wont be of any value....you need to do MBA in finance from top 10-15 b-schools for pursuing a CFA which will add immense value
i am an engg with background in SCM i.e. considered under operations..Will it be useful for me to do a CFA ?? i want to persue MBA in operations itselt so that my work ex will get counted,,

@thaparian Hmmmm thanx for the advice
dude, that is what i am saying. How can you generalize the hike expected. For eg : if you enter into equity research, hike will be very less while if you go for wealth management, hike could be more coz that might be related to your work experience

@thaparian Yes my current profile is investment related ,i wanted to know what are my chances after l1,l2 cfa should i switch to other companies or wait till i have a 4 years work ex presently i am already having 1 year experience,and i do not want a hike in current profile i m working in,i want...
Well, i think i can answer this, at least partially. First of all, if your work experience is in any way related to investment process, it would be counted. Secondly, CFA certification doesnt guarantee you a salary hike. Completely depends on the profile you get and whether or not your work expe...

@DEVILISHANGEL Hi, thanks for answering.
