CFA Level1?

by shajji » Wed Feb 22, 2012 5:25 am
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!

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.
