Hello everyone— Are either HBS online CORe and/or CFA level 1 appropriate/worthwhile ways for a liberal arts student to bolster their resume for IB recruiting? Thanks!

They’re certainly not illegitimate but your time is better spent networking, etc. or even tacking on an Econ major / minor. My (potentially dated) impression of CORe is it’s basically Lynda / Khan Academy with better PR, while CFA can be useful eventually but not worth the time investment before you’re even in the industry (And can’t even sit for the exam)
