CISI Certificate
Hello Folks,
Let me introduce myself, I am just graduate from an overall good university in Europe (not the top like HEC, Bocconi, LSE...) but well-recognized.
I followed a cursus with a finance major (financial markets and corporate finance).
One of my relationships who has more than 15 years finance experience (previous trader in top tier BB) in London advised me to take the CISI exams.
I was particularly interested in the:
- Capital Markets Programme
- corporate finance Technical Foundations
My intuition is that it can be good to have this diploma which will certificate my knowledge in finance (a little bit like the CFA but less work and less material to study).
Do you think that it may increase your chances to be admitted to an interview to break either into IB or S&T.
Is it well recognized by the HR...?
Do you think that it is a good idea?
Thanks a lot,
The banks will make you take 2 or 3 CISI exams so I see this as a waste of money and time
Are they difficult?
I did all the revision in two days including finishing S2 of the Witcher and I got 85, so you’ll probably be fine lol. Just go through the past papers again and again and ignore the videos and pdfs
Thanks a lot mate. Just to confirm, you were given two PDFs for the technical and regulation part + videos for each chapter I suppose? And you skipped those PDFs + videos and only prepared through the exercises given online?
Yes I didn’t even look at them, just do the practice tests repeatedly the days leading up to the tests
Bump. Interested as well for the one in corporate finance
