I’m currently studying in London and aiming to break into Investment Banking, Asset Management, or Private Equity. I’m trying to figure out which certifications, if any, would help me stand out.
Is it worth pursuing CFA Level 1 at this stage, or are there other certifications or courses that would add more value for these roles?
Thanks in advance!
