Non standard career path into asset management
Hey all, just looking to cage some expectations as I progress through the CFA program. Business managment degree from a top 20 undergrad. Now serving in the military as an officer. I am pursuing knocking out the CFA during my last 4 years of mandatory service.
What is the most realistic job I could be applying for in 4 years, assuming I pass all 3 levels (big IF I know...). Seems it would be a bit out of the ordinary to be 5+ years removed from undergrad, passed all 3 levels of CFA, but no legitimate finance experience.
Im just looking to get a rough idea of potential landing spots with job role, salary etc.
Thanks!
You can’t get the designation without some finance experience. I am not sure if you can even sit for the exam past level 1. You will be able to land something, but it probably won’t be in research out the gate. I would play up the military angle and look for military recruitment programs or search for ex-military ppl working in AM on LI to ask them for advice especially before you commit to this exam beyond L1.
Thanks for the reply. Ill have to look into that requirement. that would be a bummer
