Hi freshpoint

Really inspired by your story.

I am always thinking about move to finance industry, especially investment banking business (if lucky). Do you mind to leave a email to me as I got s ...

To be honest, don't think degree/qualification matters that much in investment banking espeically in Australia. If you are well connected and well spoken with good knowledge of finance and interpersonal skills, you could get straight in from mgmt acct.  The IBers I deal with are not be best analyst (that's why they could not pass CFA), but they have great interpersonal skills and communication skills. However, given the current eco envrioement, it's not easy to land on any IB jobs. If there is a structural change in the system, those jobs may never come back.

So better research the market well, and determine what you want to be end up with in 5 yrs before you start CFA program - it's a LT committement for at least 3 yrs.

Good luck

我姐姐在美國 PHD+CFA, 讀完後在大學當教授,一年也就六萬五美金,好處是一年就教八個月的書,其他時間就自己做研究 ...... 倒是她很多 master 的同學到私人企業工作後都做到大公司的 CFO 了 .....

幾年後認識現在的老公,結婚後乾脆辭職在家當家庭主婦 ...... 真是浪費錢
