OK cool. Sounds good. Do you still have the books laying around you want to get rid of? Or are they older? Thanks
I had to laugh after I read this. Probably very true. Same thing could be said about someone going to the same college as someone else etc. LOL I hate people sometimes.
I am a CFA, and no one has rolled out the red carpet for me because of it. However, (1) I have zero equity/fixed income research experience and (2) I don't take advantage of all the networking opportunities from the local society. So I'm not really even sure if my response clears anything up for you, OP.
Well, has it at least given you the opportunity to get a decent job somewhere? I mean at this point, there is basically nothing in finance for someone with a bachelors degree and less than 5 years experience.
Get your foot in the door at a bank doing some low level job. Prove your worth and network and you should be able to move up the ranks from within. Just an idea if you are job hunting.
Wow, Art. I feel sorry. I always thought a CFA was a ticket into I banking or invmgt. Guess the market has changed. Just like the flood of quants with an MS wanting hedge fund trader jobs. That will wane,too. Anyway, CFA is overkill. You will have paralysis by analysis. Trading is in between CFA and card counting at the casino.
