Juggling between job and cfa

Hey CCAites.

I have appeared for CA Final in the, just finished, May 2013 Exams. I am confident of passing them in the first attempt.

I have to plans to pursue further education in the CFA course, which I intend to appear for in Deember for L1.

However, I am confused between the two paths, as to which one should I choose.

  1. Should I go for a job and study CFA along with?
  2. Or Should i wait to clear L1 and L2 and then join for a job

As I am from Surat, and though have worked in a reputed-midsize firm here, I do not have a very colourful resume. Therefore, in these recessionary times, I am doubtful of getting a good job?

I am perfectly willing to shift to any corner of the country for a decent job however I do not want to sacrifice the CFA for short term goals.
 So the questions boils down to, how good is the job scene for freshers (first attempt clearers)?

Should I wait and clear L2 and then find a job?

 

Experienced members and mates, please pour in your views.

Your words would be appreciated. Thanks!
