Hello Everybody,
I am new to the forum. I am an engineer. I am from Pune and I have enrolled myself for CFA Level I exam in December 2012. I have also enrolled with ProfitShastra CFA coaching in Pune. How many people want to change their career after level 1 exam? What are your plans? I plan to become a portfolio manager. I also chose Investment Research and Equity Valuation module which was offered to me for free at ProfitShastra along with CFA coaching.
Let's keep in touch.

I see lot of discussions around buying the books etc. but I really don't see anybody talking about career prospects. All the people who are sitting for the CFA exam, may I know
- Why are you taking the exam?
- Do you know of people who got into investment banking or portfolio management after CFA Level 1? I know of multiple people who put in time and effort to clear level 1 but they really don't know what to do with the knowledge.
- Have you given some thoughts to applying the concepts learnt in CFA so that you stand out in a job interview?

Answers for me are as follows:
- I am taking the exam so that I can break into management consulting, investment banking or portfolio management
- Fortunately I am being advised by some really helpful industry people. I think they can help others as well.
- I have started reading annual reports and following capital markets. I am also reading up on Warren Buffett.

I will be very interested in knowing what you want to do once you clear CFA Level 1.

Hi ProBanker,
Nice. So what your take on it and what is your profile.
Can you also give me an idea about CFA Level 2 and 3.
Also how easy it is to clear the examination.

though there r some topics not in syllabus so u can match them with notes n then read..
n yes examples on investop. are awesome 😃

hi probanker,
its very nice of u to bring in this topic, even i was thinking the same about this thread, we can use this thread not only for prepration of the CFA but also building careers.
i am also an engineer working with the software firm, i started preparing for cfa to change my line of work as finance intrests me a lot. i want to be a portfolio manager.
but i always heard that after cfa L1 we dont get many well paid jobs, so always thought of switching only after L2.
could u share with us what kind of jobs are offered after L1, which companies and the salarys theses companies offer. also who are those people who are guiding you.
i have started my prepration for the interviews by reading finance magzine, newspapers and books on finance managment
awaiting your reply.
