What are the Pros and Cons of getting CFA (chartered financial analyst) versus CMT (Chartered Mkt Technician)? |
I'm an IT professional looking to switch careers and get into the Finance (Investment) industry working for either a buyside or sellside firm. Target positions are: Junior Equity Analyst and Junior Technical Analyst a MBA does not qualify for a pass for CFA lvl 1 examination. Many MBAs fail CFA lvl 1 exams.....some cases repeatedly. I don't know about the CMT, but "supposedly" CFA charter is the gold standard in investment/asset management. So far, CFA has been GREAT help to my career. Source(s): I'm a research analyst, CFA lvl 3 candidate. CFA from AIMR, USA would be the best option and the growth rate in research analyst would be very high. Go for CFA. A CFA is going to be broader and more useful, particulary if you want to explore equity research on either the buy side or the sell side. It's also useful if you decide you want to explore private equity opportunities down the road. I'd also explore an MBA if you don't yet have one. I believe you automatically qualifty for the CFA level I once you have the MBA. |
