Yes CFA/MFA is very good. Dont worry about tripura or hyderabad thing. CFA brand from ICFAI is very well known in corporate circles. About cost , please refer to prospectus for the latest information.
I dont thing any waivers will be granted in quant. It should be easy for you to crack the group B- quant :satisfie:
CFA in both cases (Ms/MFA) are almost same. I mean the knowledge which you get will be same although paper structure is different.
In ms finance, you do much more and covers everything under finance. In MFA, you do subjects related to stock markets.
I think MFA/CFA is real good.
Thanks a ton for co-operation you have always been helpful and forthcomig.

Minimum time = 18 months. Average around 2 years to complete CFA/MFA. Attempt one group at a time. Strictly !

Hi Guys,
I just wanted to know from the experienced CFA people. Currently, i am into first year of my PhD programme in US, but i am not interested in research any more. i want to get into finance and would like to use my data analysis skills into finance. I am Engineer from background.
Since, i am in US, i am planning to take the CFA exam in here. I am registered for the December,2007 exam. I have gone through the previous threads and it seems to be a thread discussing majorly about the CFA from ICFAI. I might not be able to pursue the same for two reasons.
1. I do want to explore career opportunities while i am doing CFA in US. Basically, earn some money guys..!!
2. I also, would be looking for jobs related to finance domain in software over here.
Neways, the question i wanted to ask is that, how easy is to get a job with CFA (AIMR) in India. Can i fit in, with Engg. degree into those jobs. My answer would that, my analysis skills and mathematical skills should help in CFA job. But, let me hear from the industry people. What companies offer, Internships or entry level jobs in India for CFA (may be Level 2 or 1 passed students). So, if that happens, i would like to come to India after passing my 2 exams..!! ofcourse, i am backing on my dedication and hardwork..!!
Kindly, send me your suggestions...!!

Babu bhaiyya..
First of all, I am NOT applying to Credit Suisse at all because I am pretty well set in my current place of employment and finding the work good.
Secondly, i am not from Pune, but from Baroda and Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
How r ur studies going on? Which group are you appearing for?

Hey Tumtum, i was under the impression for the last 2 years
(since i met you online) that you are from pune !! You are gujju, nice to meet you :)
Studies are going fine. I will be hitting the global services market with CFA in last quater of this fiscal year. I hope market values me at premium over my last trading price
(last BPO salary).I am not expecting a super listing of myself as i dont have financial services experience but a decent listing so that i gain from my ICFAI investment :satisfie:. I will be giving delta in oct 07. Delta is now the toughest group in CFA under the new realignment of subjects as it has SA and PMMF as subjects

To carry forward Tumtum brilliant update, i have 2 exciting news to share about CFA-ICFAI placement:
1) One of my friends based in delhi has got a job in edelweiss capital gurgaon office as associate (Institutional trading and sales desk). He is a b.com + ADF. Package is really very good given that he is a fresher. His main responsibility is to deliver macro economic research theme to FII and execute trading on behalf of them. I think it is a mix between research and trading. He told me in interview, the VP was impressed with his sound concepts which he learned during the course. He spoke on valuation of securities at length during interview which clinched the job deal in his favour. He is taken at par (job profile) with MBAs which edelweiss hired from top 10 business school.
2) Another friend from bangalore who cleared till delta only has got job in futuresfirst- Futures First It is a trading company and employees will be trading credit swap derivatives, short sterling and other financial instruments in UK and US from terminals installed in India. The salary is around 35000 pm basic package. Then lot of trading incentives as high as 25000 per month depending upon trading profitability. FF takes candidate from IIT also and they also employ CFAs from ICFAI. They have offices in all Ahm, blore, delhi, kolkatta and hyderabad.
Reliance capital is getting into investment banking :satisfie:. 9.4% blistering growth will create immense opportunities and experienced CFA will be able to encash the boom.

The position that your friend clinched is just for the dealing desk ie. simply a dealer for Institutional desk and equity sales.(see here)
Basically executing orders on NEAT/BOLT or combined(software from TCS) i.e. the shares an FII wants to buy and then entering/executing it in the system and providing inputs that is otherwise presented/prepared by the in house research team at Edelweiss. Its not at all hardcore research.
The conventional route to the instituional sales desk is to slog it out as a dealer for retail and HNI's and then move into Instl sales.
Its Similar to a call center, only difference is the value of transaction is huge and one needs to be flawless in his/her execution given the amounts and risks involved.
2+ yrs as a dealer should see a decent candidate thru to Instls sales with packages ranging from Rs 4lakh to rs7lakh pa depending on one's experience.
By the way for people in Mumbai :: Welcome to Credence Analytics :: Empowering Through Knowledge is also recruiting for Research position. I've been offered Debt/fixed income and not Equities cause they require a PG and yes CFA's!!!
