CFA + Information Technology sector

[nikhil.nerkar]

Hi All,
Hope Im in right forum. Guied otherwise.
I have 7+ years experience in Information Technology sector. Working as test engineer in India.
Interested in finance & plan to switch domain from software testing to some techno functional and cross functional profiles but in same industry & company.
Can CFA help ? I am looking for job involving finance in IT , like pre-sales or requirement analysis where knowledge of corporate finance would help.
Would CFA aid me ? If not, what more can I explore in finance?

CFA will help you understand markets and instruments, that knowledge will definitely be helpful if you will work in financial sector. Otherwise it is useless
