Occupation

Associate, Emerging Markets Trading, mostly focusing on IR derivatives and currencies; also a bulge-bracket
 
Credit Analyst (Canadian chemical distributor ~$1bn annual sales) - I don’t know if it’ll be considered as appropriate work experience though. No investment related analysis. More like monitoring receivables and granting credit to oil & gas, drilling & blending companies based on perceived levels of risk.
 
Business Analyst - Investment Management Firm (MF , ETFs etc). 2.5 years of exp.
I am 25 and already have an MBA….
 
MBA Full time Student (specializong in finance, so lots of the material in the MBA is helping me with the L2 curriculum)
Previously Personal Banker, Long distance telecommunication markets analyst.
 
Acquisition Analyst - Corporate Development — Wanting to get an MBA to get into M&A at a bulge bracket…
 
Unemployed, right out of college, passed level 1 in December, looking for a job in not the best of times…Believe it or not, not one company/recruiter has contacted me and soon I’ll be broke and forced to work at a gas station or something…Anyone know of any analyst opportunities for entry level?
I’m 22 and I can’t live in the hope that once I pass level 2 things will be alright because thats what I said before I passed level 1….Suggestions?
 
My point, to those who questioned, was that what is the value added of getting the charter if you are already a PM? If you are already a legit (sp?) PM/Analyst then #1 you already know everything you need to get the CFA and #2 you dont have the time in your schedule to allow you to get the charter.
I could be way off here…but im speaking from my experience.
