Hi John,

Hope this message find you well!

I will most probably be accepting the offer from the Simon School. I am thinking about a career in financial consulting (Simon's strength is in Finance, and Consulting is my preferred career choice. I guess it makes sense. any thoughts?)

Here's my question:

I have plenty of time right now, and nothing much to do apart from my current job, which I am soon to quit. I was thinking about completing CFA level 1 by this June? Do you think a CFA L1 in any way will help me get a job in the industry of my choice after MBA?

Thanks a ton!

Shajji

If you are going into Finance, sure. If not, (going into general management consulting) then only do it if the knowledge is valuable to you personally. You can also do a PhD in roman History if you love it. Will it necessarily help you get a better job if you want to be a consultant? Eh.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
