Thinking very seriously about doing CFA1. I am in an "analyst" postition that I feel is dead-ended - it is also focused on internal cost controls (I am basically a controller). My position has some room for responsibility growth, but very limited. As far as I can see, there is not an obvious tie to CFA topics, but I know very little compared to some of you. I want to sit for CFA1 to expand my knowledge and open doors down the road. In order to get my boss to pay for it, I am going to need to tell him specifcally how it will benefit my current position. Any thoughts on how I could tie the various topics covered in CFA1 back to a controller-type position? Also - what types of companies (and positions) are explicity seeking CFA candidates other than the investment world? |

nobody is specifically seeking a CFA charterholder, its basically bells and whistles on a resume if you're qualified. it will help u in that u will learn some sht and want to leave that jb even more so the only help it will be will prob me to motivate u more when u realize what else is out there. as for ur boss just tell him the cfa will help u understand the products u guys report on which will help u better interact w/ front office, etc and hjelp them and be more efficeint. some bullsht in that vein would help. |
