I’m graduating college and starting a rotational management program. I want to pivot to IB after maybe a year though so I’m thinking of taking the CFA level 1 in the next year. Will that help me make the pivot to IB?

U can find more info from previous posts about this, but short answer is a CFA won’t really help in IB other than a stamp of approval on ur resume bc the knowledge and work is different. Common paths are MBA or a ton of networking or starting at a small IB firm
