In Reply To: ...This is now. The analysts you see w/o CFA aren't trying to break in now. Same ith the MBAs. Particularly given that you have a so-so MBA and no experience, yes you need the CFA. Quite frankly given your comments I don't know who would hire. You original post was worded differently but reads, "I think I might need to get a CFA, but am unwilling to spend the time to study for it so I'm thinking of quitting halfway through...I'm a lazy quitter." Good luck.
Message: You said "top-20" school...That means so-so...Yes I have an MBA & CFA and do work in the industry and do know what I'm talking about. I wasn't commenting on your "specialized" industry experience, which I'm sure will help if you can find a job following that industyr. I was referring to the fact that you are trying to break into an industry in which you have no experience. I won't even comment on Pusherman's idiotic comments.
