Don't mean to spam but can someone shed some light on this post I made in the CFA level 1 December topic? http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/career-discussions/62859-cfa-level-1-december-2011-a-14.html#post2708041

It is really bothering me (I wonder why it never bothered anybody else) and extensive searching has not yielded any results.

Thank you.

Yes you can appear for CFA Level 1 provided u have completed ur graduation...nd the 4 years experience is required to get the CFA membership certificate...which one gets after clearing all the levels and a minimum 4 years of experience..

I have done my B.Tech from NIT Calicut. Working in a Software Company for 3.5 years. With no financial background.

Hi All,

My wife is a BCom with Accountancy honours and MCom in Accounts and Finance.
She has also cleared level 1 CFA.She is now starting to look for Jobs as a fresher though she has one year teaching experience in Accounts in a school.

What kind of job prospects she would have and what are the kind of roles she would go for as a fresher in accounts/finance ?

Any pointers would be hugely appreciated.
