I need Career Guidance please help!
Hello everyone,
I am a 22 year old female from India. I have graduated with a Hons degree in Business Studies from Lancaster University. The year of my graduation was 2013 and since then I have been looking for a job in finance industry in India. But I did not get called for a single interview for the finance related job as most of the posts required a masters level degree, CA, CS etc. Also I do not have any internships in finance. I have decided to pursue CFA®
Charter as I am interested in equity research and portfolio management. I have my level 1 exam in December. The problem I am facing is that will pursuing the CFA®
designation actually help me since it takes a long time to actually earn the charter. (Keeping in mind that in order to actually be awarded the CFA®
designation I need four years of equity research / portfolio management / etc experience). Therefore I’m looking for a postgraduate course which will enable me to enter the industry. I am planning to write CFA®
level 2 in June before going for a post graduate course in fall 2015. Would you please be able to give some insights as to which may be good programs in UK, USA and India I can apply to considering I pass level 2. Any suggestions and advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
The advice is that its all about work experience. Get an internship instead. At some point just throwing on more education stops to being effective. Work for free for a few months if you have to.
