My career Objective: i have had enuf of my current work and ultimately want to pursue a core finance career in London like investment bankng or asset management and finally i want to land into private equity. i am not only attracted by the attractive compensations in such careers but also i am (u can say) desperate to follow high level finance ( this is evidenced by the fact that i started my cfa when i had no idea of these big sums the finance jobs pay)
