Need a bit of advice. will appreciate honest opinion. I have an interest in Finance sector. I am moving to (Canada) by Feb/Mar.2020. I can settle in Alberta or Ontario. My whole experience was in Accounting (Reputed Design & Construction Company & Hyundai Motor Co. in the Middle East). I have savings that can let me study without work for 2 years in Canada. I started studying toward CFA, & I’ll set for CFA L1 in Dec.2019. I have 2 Plans: Plan A): After passing CFA L1, I’ll resign from my work and focus on CFA L2 June 2020 EXAM. I am wondering if CFA L1 will help me in getting new opportunity there. Plan B): aside with CFA, I want to Study MBA-Finance, I am wondering if this could help me to break into the finance Sector Can you guys help me with some enquires ? 1.Being 30 year old with CFA L1 and 7 years experience in accounting, will that be an issue for finding finance job ? 2.What are job prospects for finance in areas Toronto, Calgary or Edmonton? 3.I don’t care about the salary at the beginning, I’m curious about the right start. Any help will be appreciated? |

I have a cfa friend working in canada, there is an over offer of cfa’s there,I doubt it helping you getting entry level position (level 3 passed) if you are in late twenties early thirties. As for the MBA, if it is not top league, save your money. At this age it is more interesting to build on your experience or start your own business.It is sad to say but there are tons of graduate with cfa under there belt competing for the same job and willing to make more sacrifices than you. my half cent |

I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
