CFA for Wealth Management?

Hey guys,

Intern at a bulge bracket bank here conducting research on equities and portfolio construction for a larger group [think $2B+ AUM].

I have hopes of returning for the full time, as they have already hinted at a return offer. [rising non target college senior]

In the free time I get, I have started studying for the CFA level 1. I wanted to throw this idea out there to you all on how useful this would be for the industry, or if I’m wasting my time here? Tear me apart.
