dsaroya Saysas i am new to finance is the time till dec level 1 enough for me and how to study for cfa, are the books enough and if someone from chandigarh or delhi plz pm me for guidance
in my opinion and the info i got from the thread, 300 hours are sufficient to clear the exam. but for a novice, i suggest to consider 100 more hours. if you can arrange this much, success is quite possible.
good luk,

Hello everyone...
I wish to know the value of a profile that i will have after 4 years as on date....
It goes like this...
1. B.Com with first class all the way
2. CA from ICAI (till now i have cleared CA Inter and have been able to achieve a National Rank at both the levels )
3. 3 years intern ship as a part of CA course in Deloitte Haskins and Sells (one of the big 4 CA firms in India)
4. CFA International (L3 cleared)
5. 0 -1 year work ex ( If any,shall be as a CA )
6. NCFM - Capital,Derivatives and Commodities cleared with 90% on an average
As on date...If a person has this profile...
What can he/she expect to earn in India and abroad and what sort of job profile shall it offer ??
Basically I would want to work in the core finance sector...like Investment Banking...Portfolio Management and the like....
and would have this profile in June 2014 unless unforseen circumstances occur.So i want to know the value of such an profile as on date.
I know that are many related posts to my querry but have not been able to figure out the value of this particular profile (or very similar ones) based on them
Seniors....Please give in any inputs that you think can give me an idea...I would be very grateful
Thanks and Regards

Is it true that examination and registration fee for CFA exams are refunded once we get into an appropriate job?

I would advice some change....
Drop NCFM certificates rather take FRM Program.... No one asks NCFM if you are CA CFA and FRM...
Don't get the degrees for the sake of fat package... Fat package will surely come but it should not be the only aim...
If possible give CAT and get into IIMs and do PGDM Finance...
Sab degrees ek side or IIM A B C ek side....
Don't do 3 year articles in Deloitte if you wanna enter finance..
Do industrial training in any brokerage firm most preferably or bank....
Get CA Final rank too...
thanks ABCLIKS
But i am already committed to almost everything I wrote in that profile..Additions might be there but deletions are not possbile now...and i have already done the NCFM modules
Thanks for all your inputs but can u also give an approximate answer to my specific question ?
Suyash,Abhishek,Scintilla,Slayer and other seniors too....It would be great if u could answer my querry or give any input u think is appropriate

If you manage to build such a profile you have good chances of getting in core investment banking or Investment management.
You might get a salary of 10-20 lpa depending on the company and upto 200% of bonus
With such a profile equity research or Mergers and Acquisition advisory . Both of which needs intense work hours, give you hefty pay packages and also you have chances of earning huge bonuses
akhilthegame SaysIs it true that examination and registration fee for CFA exams are refunded once we get into an appropriate job?
Some companies do refund once you clear all the 3 levels
especially credit and equity research companies but it depends on company you get in.
Not all do refund

But u should aim bigger... See Rakesh Jhunjhunwala , a CA by profession, has a portfolio of over 5000 Cr... Market me kuch bhi possible hai... Practical experience is a key...

U need not purchase original one. U can get pirated schweser notes at 1000 as against 15000 for original ones. If u are from mumbai , I may help u wit it. About centre , 99 % its going to be in India this june. We will get confirmation on 22nd march.. 😃
