hey
I think we are already 8 people...(5 they already have, that includes u and then 3 more have joined to it, including me).
If we can find 7 more people we can probably form a batch and ask them to take up coaching for us.

I have one year of Work Ex in software (prod dev.). I am planning for CFA certifications. Does the CFA level 2 and 3 have any pre-requisites of work ex. in finance/investment domain. Also, if I continue to be in Software till my level-3, What are the chances of switching domain after CFA (considering I shall be having around 3-4 yrs of WOrk Ex. by then. ? Please put your comments.
Hi Anshulpan I guess you have gave it a real thought before deciding on a career change-over, since you have only one year's of work-ex. However if you sure of a career change, I can suggest that you start looking for a KPO/Analytics domain job after you complete you level 1-since you will have some domain knowledge by then. Level2 and 3 does not require any relevant work-ex as such. However, to avail the CFA charter (Remember that clearing the three levels does not automatically qualify for CFA title), you ought to have 4.5 years of relevant experience-by relevant I mean hardcore finance ex. If you switch-over after your level1, by the time you finish your level 3, you will have at-least 1 year of relevant experience(If you manage to clear level 2 & 3 back to back), which will come in handy for achieving your CFA charter. Remember, that CFA is super-specialty course, superior to a conventional MBA (Finance) and somewhat similar to MS(Finance) from US Varsities. Hope this helps
Stalla in Pune charges $425 for class room coaching, 8 hours on sundays till 1st week of september-leaving enough time for a thorough revision , although a little expensive..anybody knows of any cheaper alternative...please let me know fast since I have to decide before 12th July 09...also any idea where I can get the the TI BA calculator in pune
Hi
I am new to pagal guy.i was thrilled to see an exclusive thread for CFA.
Well i need some inputs from you all people.I am a MBA graduate passed out in 2007.Well i was always interested to start my career in Finance but unfortunately i landed up in IT doing ERP consulting.I always thought of moving out in finance field but due to many reasons i couldn't.In spite of recession and Finance firms being the most affected sector, I want to move into Investment related companies.I want to know whether doing CFA would help me in this?

Firstly,I dont agree that the CFA charter is similar to MS Finance. MS Finance is basically financial engineering and the CFA exam is hardcore finance. Secondly, one cant compare an MBA or the CFA charter as the focus of the two courses is on different things. Many MBAs take the CFA exams and many ppl pursue an MBA after the CFA charter.
all of the puys here gave my cfa l2 this june and pretty confident of clearing.... yaar plzzz tell me wat kingd of package i should think of considering i am a fresher....

Hi pawan,
It depends on your desgination and JD as wel,l but since wealth planning is very much related to CFA course curriculum i think your wrk expereince should be counted. You can also mail CFA your detailed JD designation company etc and they wud respond on that.

1.If you are in your 4th yr, I think you are.
2. You can clear the exams if you study well. Prior Knowledge of Finance is not neccessary.
3. I think you should concentrate on just one based on your interest...dont get carried away in the rate race.

hi.. thanks a lot..... my work relates to selling of insurance products and mutual funds. i m working as relationship manager....
any suggestion on this....
Hi puys,
I am working in the IT sector currently and planning to switch to the finance stream. I am going to take the L1 exam in this dec('09). I have gone through the study material(i mean an overlook and found it really challenging) and feel that its really important to stay motivated till the end or else the chances to clear the exam will be minimal. For this, either I can join some institute or some study group. This way, atleast it would be possible to keep a track of the progress. But there are a few doubts.
1) The coaching institute will take just 15 to 18 sessions to finish off the course. I think its really not possible to take up the entire course in such less time. might be that they are just providing an overview, so this puts me into the dilemma that i should go for it or not..
2) Secondly, i can join a group. I am in Mumbai and if there are any other people who are looking for a peer group then lets plan and start preparing.
please suggest something.
I am planning to do level 1 in jun 2010....
Can anyone let me know what should be the appropriate plan of action after level 1 i.e. whether to complete level 2 and go for a job change then or go for a job in BFSI and prepare for level 2..........
Also i am keen to know what job opportunities do we have after each of the levels (1,2,3) and what packages should be expected after clearing each level.
Hi All,
I need some serious help regarding CFA.
> I have been working with TCS for almost 2 years now and frankly I did not like the experience.
> I want to switch to Finance. Will getting a CFA (Level-1) help me move into any finance job after 2 yrs in IT? (I can take the other 2 levels after I get into a finance company).
> I realized late but nevertheless I did, that IT is not for me and I have inclination towards Finance.
> I do not have any prior experience in Finance. Will clearing CFA Level-1 help me move out of IT and into a core Finance Job?
Please Help. A prompt relply would be appreciable
