dude, that is what i am saying. How can you generalize the hike expected. For eg : if you enter into equity research, hike will be very less while if you go for wealth management, hike could be more coz that might be related to your work experience
i am an engg with background in SCM i.e. considered under operations..
Will it be useful for me to do a CFA ?? i want to persue MBA in operations itselt so that my work ex will get counted,,

if you want to do MBA in operations,then CFA wont be of any value....you need to do MBA in finance from top 10-15 b-schools for pursuing a CFA which will add immense value
@leotheking said:i am an engg with background in SCM i.e. considered under operations..Will it be useful for me to do a CFA ?? i want to persue MBA in operations itselt so that my work ex will get counted,,
are you working in a core field with SCM? if yes then it will be counted if you go through a SCM/Operations specialisations - CFA wont help - Try PMP.
@thaparian :
2)I have freinds who are from tier 2 Bschools but they are now working as investment bankers becoz they were lucky enough to get campus placement . I said lucky enugh becoz in that college only one invest bank visits for placement and selects only 2 ormax. 3 candidates.they cleared CFA after getting the job in IB.
1)I agree. entry int IB depends upon networking. In job is highly sought after job. so in my opnion entry in IB depends upon:
1. MBA from IIMs
2.MBA from non IIM but reputable Bschool +relative/freind who can refer you in IB firm
3.MBA from tier2 B school +campus placement/relative /freind
Nothing can replace MBA and NETWORKING for entry into IB.

3)So Chintan if u want to break into IB then CFA may not help u .But CFA can fetch you more interview calls in other profiles.
4) Salary depends on ur related work experience

yes but with an good mba, it will be easier.
without the mba, you will probably have to work a lot of angles to get in.
