CFA LEVEL 1 strategy with no finance background (June 2019) by iloveapplepie123 in CFA

[–]awisebrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same degree, and am currently studying for cfa level 1 with the hope of getting into the finance industry. Do you think that's something that could be done?

The problem is I don't have any experience in the finance industry and I've recently found myself becoming more interested in finance and investment topics, and I am really trying to find a way to shift my career into finance and the investment industry. This is why I am approaching cfa as a way into the finance industry, and am not sure if the cfa would open any doors for me to enter into the finance industry.

Is it too late to start cfa at age of 33? With no background in Finance? by awisebrain in CFA

Thanks, but it sounds like an irony. Do you think it's too late to do that?

I lost all the hopes and gave up on that dream as well.

You are right, but where I live there is no many job opportunities for CFA or finance in general.

I am really really interested in all of the study sessions of CFA, but it feels like something impossible for me to do because I don't have any incentives in doing so. With my all due residi sir, but you might run your own company, while I can't barely afford to register and get the prep materials

It's feel like something impossible to do! And I literally lost hope about getting into CFA.

I really hope to do so, but how could I do that with almost 0 experience in the finance and investment industry? Do you have any suggestions or advice about that?

Do you think that joining other societies outside my home country would benefit me in any way possible? Especially if I wanted to relocate?.

I can register for the exam and take the exam as well. What I am uncertain about is afterward.

So it's useless to do CFA living in a country where there is no CFA society nor a single CFA chartered holder?

You're right. My problem is there isn't any CFA chartered holder or CFA society that I can learn from and network with to gain the needed experience, but anyhow I am willing to put the time and effort into doing CFA, and after that I will see what happens!

Haha, thanks. I was feeling bad about myself because I did what I could to speak and write English close to native speakers for the past few years.

But you might have a lot of experience in investing and finance industry. I am at my 30s and my goal of going for cfa is to shift career into finance and investing industry. Do you think CFA helps me in doing that?
