Let me help you, if u want a career in stocks/shares, MF's etc..yes i would say go on..i am sure when you complete this you will be knowing inside-out of stock market ( i mean everything) as long as job perspective you join AMC, broking company, etc etcHope it solves your query
well that was a nice response....but i would suggest you to research a bit on whether u can have such profiles after a non-flagship course.. specially when financial market isnt going through best of the phases

are there any jobs for CFA L2 passouts without workexperience?
What possible profiles and salary can be expected after l2

Hi everyone,

I am little confused about my further studies and hence need guidance...Here is my profile which is below average.

10th- 50% cbse (2003)
12th- 66% cbse (2005)commerce
Grad- 42% B.comp Delhi univ.(correspondence) (2009)
Grad repeated- 73% B.com Pass (correspondence from tier3 univ.) (2012)

Work ex- small family garment business 3 years( but b schools wont consider it.)

I have taken CAT this year but didnt get any fruitful result, now i am little double minded weather to do a professional study like CA or continue with CAT prep for coming season.

I know both are very succesful degree/certificates ..but few negative things that are coming to my mind considering my week profile.

MBA- Even if i get call from good colleges in the coming season how will i convert them with this profile, more over since both my graduations were in correspodence they will consider it as no work ex though i joined my family business later.

CA- Mandatory internship for 3 years with less than 5k salary per month. Also this is the minimum that to be a CA it can take 4 or 5 years to if i dont clear it in my 1st attempt.

At present my age is 25, so even age is also not in my side.

So kindly help me seniors, people who have gone through this, people who are at similar condition or anyone.

Thanks in advance.

@naga13 : I don't want to dishearten you bro, but with that acads, you cant expect a call from top colleges for sure, even if you are from a category and score a decent %ile. Even if CAT-based colleges call, converting will be close to impossible. Moreover, since your graduation is correspondence, most colleges don't consider, since they explicitly state 'Full time studies for at-least 15 years'. Better go for CA, since there is always more value for a CA than an MBA grad, unless you want the MBA tag..

Hi Finance Gurus,


Are there any job opportunity with FRM part 1 cleared for a fresher in Finance Domain ?
I actually have about 3yrs work experience in IT sector.
Kindly guide me.

Does clearing CFA and FRM level 1 before summer placements gives advantage over someone who has cleared only CFA or only FRM because they cater to different domains in Finance .

Hi, I am Ranajoy. Let me give a brief summary of myself before I place my question on the table:

Educational Background: B.Pharm

Total Exp: 4 yrs

Past Experience Breakup: 1.6 yrs (U.S Healthcare Insurance Analytics+SAS)+2.3 yrs (Clinical SAS Analytics).

Present Experience: Retail Consumer Finance Analytics- Marketing division (Retail Cards)

2 years down the line I want to pursue an executive MBA and I wish to work in either campaign or credit card analytics field. Am in a fix as to what electives should I focus into. Am planning to focus on marketing electives or finance electives but as you can understand that as am not from a finance background, would it be a risky proposition to take finance elective in a 1 yr executive MBA program?

If I intend to take up finance electives can you let me know how should I prepare myself from now to understanding financial concepts to come at par. Are there any pre-requisites I should complete before taking up finance electives?

  • Marketing
  • MBA electives
  • Finance

Am I allowed to post stuff related to the latest happenings in the world of business? I think the fall in gold prices and the resulting Winsome episode would make for an absorbing discussion.
