@techcat10 hi..cfa is not a course that would require you to sit at home and study full day..you can take up a job and give ur Level 1..or if interested pursue MBA..there is no real figure of how much salary will a cfa degree fetch you..that obviously is dependent on other factors as well like work ex, aptitude, skill sets etc.
what is total cost of giving CFA level 1 in india? anyone plz help its urgent

@leolazer said:Do not agree completely - Skill based programs will help you even if you are L1 or L2. A person needs more than just self study to be a success in the industry. He / She needs coherent knowledge of the workings and skills required in the industry and more typically... a mentor.My suggestion is to go for a skill based program along with a certification.
what do you mean by "skill based programs" ??
@aditya224102
Skill based programs are the ones which train a person for the specific skills reqd for a particular job. Eg: there are programs for Financial Analysis or Financial modelling - these would be suited for a typical job profile and getting a job (for say a equity research analyst or a financial modeller) is much easier after these courses. Further these courses focus on real-life skills and knowledge.
@sourabh1107 The cost for CFA in India was $1,080 for 1st deadline(19 sept) & now you can enroll for it with $1,180 for 2nd deadline(20 sept - 12 feb) & it will increase to $1,545 if you enroll after 2nd deadline.
We are a group of finance professionals with over 3-5 years of experience. Though some of us have been blogging for the last few years, we are now planning to start a collaborative blog on topics related to stock ideas, macroeconomic trends, and investment opinions on various asset classes. A collaborative blog would help us have more frequent posts leading to higher reader interest and hence increased interactivity. We welcome all Puys who can develop an investment thesis and articulate their views and opinions. We will be glad to share some sample articles that we have written.

Hi neeupp,
I am RJ from hyderabad, worked in the payments/compliance department of Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation. I can do several write ups on how money moves across the world, what are the modern ways of moving your money, how financial institutions stop money from getting into wrong hands like terrorists and all, what is money laundering and it's results in the real world, what are the codes professionals use to move money and many other things. I know, all this is not directly related to finance but it affects the finance world directly and indirectly hugely. So, if you are interested then I am on.
@neeupp I am game for anything on Macro Economics impacting investments & Micro Economics impacting industries.
@VijayRawat Money laundering sure is a very interesting topic and in fact merits a blog of its own. But as you rightly pointed out, it is not related to investment ideas. If however, you can think of writing about how the movement of money impacts liquidity in markets and hence asset prices, or other such connecting topics, your articles could fit our theme.
@DEVILISHANGEL We could start with introductions and then share our respective published or unpublished reports or blogs if we have any. If not, we can simply start posting on the blog. Please share your email ID and I'll send you an invite. Please note that we are as yet culling out content from our individual blogs and back-filing it in the collaborative blog so the site is in 'work in progress' mode till all contributors back-file.
I have created a separate thread for this: Lets take this conversation there:
Link to the blog is {drum roll} here: http://stockmusings....
oops! Here's the separate thread again: Its at MBA Forums > The Longe - Chit Chat
Gosh! the blogs at: Stockmusings dot wordpress dot com
@neeupp How are you ensuring quality? Can any-who stupid self proclaiming financial expert like me be an over-night expert? Understand my concern...whats your quality parameter? I am saying this if you want this blog to live for long and its not a short term thing...also please introduce yourself to all of us here for the benefit of the crowd. Please blame my ignorance for stupid questions :)
Your link got truncated btw...
To avoid going further off-topic on this thread I have posted a detailed reply on the following thread: MBA forums > The Lounge - Chit Chat > Anyone for collaborative blogging
i m b.com (banking & insurance) graduate....will soon b joining a kpo as data analyst.....so my question is how much does a kpo experience counts for in corporate world if i want to make my career in finance? i will b pursuing MBA after 6-8 months of experience...so will this work ex count for anything after my MBA?
hello,
this is divya. i need some help. actually i am enrolled in CFA program of ICFAI university but because of some reasons have not attempted any exam. my fee is fully paid but its been 3 yrs and i dun really know whether i can now try for it or i lost the chance 😞 ...please help me if u have any information regarding this...plz plz plz
@bhavinhariya Hi Bhavin, in my opinion 6-8 months of experience will not have a significant weight age in your MBA program. The initial 1 year of my corporate life was full of work like data gathering, sorting, making charts, maintaining databases and stuff like that which do not involve much analytical skills. Its only after you graduate towards the more challenging roles like modelling, report writing, client management that adds to your real 'experience', which in turn will add value to any MBA program.
