dude.. u can get into an investment bank wid even just a b.com provided u have the correct networks and contacts.... but for the other guyz.. get a rank in ca final.. land a job in any i bank u want.. no need for mbz/cfa/any other degree....... 

the main point is that no ca studetnt wants to do CFA.. almost 90% dont even know what CFA is... duh....

they lack awareness... this is the bitter truth... further the classes/tuitions are absolutely killing them..

Of course it matters. While expirence in tax would most likely not be counted, any exp in audit, accounting, banking, research would be counted towards the expirence required by the CFA Institute..
The expirence just has to be Finance/Investment releated...

*PEACE*

so wats d procedure of getting that 4yr experience.......

@ chakraveti wut procedure??

just get the expierence.. thats the procedure  :)

*PEACE*
