Thanks much Jane. I have asked the companies for their feedback but always get a pc answer...this is why i am trying to find out if somebody has already taken a certfificate study and succeeded in a career change. I will take yor advice and try other borads as well. If you do happen to get any information regarding my query, please drop me an update. thanks again! |

Venture Capital and IM are careers within the finance industry, but with very different focus. So first you have to decide wich specific field do you like.
What a mean for example is that for a career in IM the CFA is very very valuable, for VC is relatively nothing it would'nt open many doors. Basically for an opportunity in VC or PE you need an MBA from a Top School not the case in IM. With an MBA in Boston College and CFA designation you can do fine in some buyside shops, but dont just look in the biggest asset management firms is better to be the head of a mouse than the tail of a lion.
