Hello Everyone !

I want to pursue a career in marketing .
I have completed my engineering and currently I am currently working as a sales executive.
I want to have some knowledge of commerce before I enter my MBA .

Is CFA the right option ? Will I get the basic insights which I will need during my tenure in B-Schools?

Please advise.
Thanks a lot.

If u want 2 pursue career in marketing then CFA is not d right option at all.

For gaining some financial insights just go through the shweser notes by urself. No need to prepare and appear for CFA.

Hi Prateek .
Thanks a lot for your help .
I just have few doubts in my mind.
Currently I am working as a sales executive in South Korea , which is my first job with only year of work experience and that will be two probably before I start my MBA.

What is the right option for me to enhance my skills in Marketing . I also wish to learn emarketing etc so that I can have an idea before I enter college.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you should atleast complete CFA, CFP, CA, FRM, PRM, Series-6,7, CS, ICWA, Actuary, CIMA to get some knowledge of Finance.

Just kidding
Relax, you need not go for any of this or any other finance qualification if you are looking to major in marketing. Just read a good book - something like "Finance for Non-Finance Managers" to get a overall view of Finance.

For marketing related courses or queries, suggest you be part of a marketing post/thread to get better inputs.

uys howz prep going. Ho much time will be required in ethics and quant >

Just finished reading "Ethics" portion of L1 from Schweser (now only Quant n Eco) pending. But, i am anxious how will i perform at the main exam. Most of the questions of Ethics from Schweser are ambigious, and sometimes 2 of the options seems to be correct.

How to have best preparations for such questions?

does anybody of u have soft copies of notes by coaching institutes of CFA L1 esp of that of Ethics?Please contact via PM.
