GPA vs. Work Experience

Hello All,

I am interested in joining a reputable bank/consulting firm as a financial analyst. I have 5 years work experience as a financial analyst and am a CFA charterholder. I went to a reputable University but only earned a 3.3 GPA. Will my GPA be a detriment to me when it comes to finding a job or will my work experience and credentials be the determining factor? I reside in the United States for your information. Thank you all for your time.

Aspernatur nulla necessitatibus vel quia iure ducimus officia. Ipsam saepe iure quia et. Veniam deleniti natus expedita tempore. Sed cum voluptatem minus maiores eaque repudiandae.

Explicabo quis dolores magni architecto voluptate ut soluta. Modi voluptate iusto qui ratione quae et. Asperiores officiis aut mollitia id facilis quia laudantium. Et assumenda rerum delectus minus earum quos.

Voluptatem qui et debitis sint expedita ad. Consequatur tempore nulla animi provident a sint sit. Nihil voluptate exercitationem iste illum.
