CFA Students in MS Finance (USA) 🎓

[@vedantnalawade4286]

I have cleared level 1 when I was in my second year of college.

[@Gamer-cu4kf]

Did you complete with couching or self study? I'll Appreciate the reply.

[@kanchanms8492]

Wow, congratulations on passing CFA level 1 and I mean it because it was hard to convince my parents about it because most of the people who clear it have some finance background like experience so I was kinda in search of someone who cleared it as a college student, btw I am also preparing for the same in third year of college. Also, can you tell what degree are you pursuing?

[@ovillarejo]

That very helpful even for me as someone who is not in the US and born in Brazil, thanks!

[@MarketCurry]

We are glad we could help!

Hi, it was great watching the podcast. Would be great if you guys can share the LinkedIn profiles of the 2 of them pursuing CFA

The content provided is commendable. However, I would like to offer some constructive feedback. The audio quality of your videos could benefit from improvement in your forthcoming productions. During my recent experience, I had to increase the volume to the maximum level to comprehend the entire podcast. I hope this feedback is helpful in enhancing the quality of your content, with a view to improving the audience's experience.

[@MarketCurry]

Thank you so much for the feedback Kunal! We really appreciate it. This was actually one of the first videos that we recorded, and unfortunately we didn't have a mic with us at that time and booked a non-insulated room due to our bad luck. We acknowledged the same in our first video which we recorded after this one with an entire setup for better audio. That being said, the coming videos will hopefully have better audio quality. Stay tuned!

[@kunaltolani4555]

[@susmitshaw3617]

Hey...Can we expect a job at a HFT company like Citadel, Jane Street as a Quant Trader/Researcher/Developer after MS in Quant Finance ??? Or maybe any other Hedge Fund...How the career prospects look like ??? Really invaluable content...Keep demystifying the world of finance for all of us....

[@MarketCurry]

HFT Firms prefer candidates from Ivy-leagues and tech/physics/math backgrounds. So, MSQF is not enough. Thank you, we are trying to get the best stuff on this channel :)

[@susmitshaw3617]

​@@MarketCurry Thank you so much for the reply...If possible, try to make a detailed video around Hedge Funds/HFTs...Maybe by interviewing someone or maybe with your own knowledge or experience...

[@MarketCurry]

We do plan to get someone really special on our next ep. Stay tuned for the next one!

I have a 2 years of work ex in data analytics. Currently, I am planning to do a Msc/MBA in finance from JBIMS depending on score in CET. I am thinking to do masters right now just to have a back up and to buy time to crack a govt exam. So, would MQF be helpful as a double masters and is there a max age or a suitable age, if any, to be aware of to pursue it? PS: i have an engg background!

[@MarketCurry]

Hi Rohan, congrats on your decision to pursue MS. Whether the double masters would be helpful or not depends completely on your end goal. MSF is a great segway into the Finance profession. However, you should look at the track record of the college you are applying to. Further, considering you are an engg grad, you should be vary of the fact that you will be required to learn the basics of Finance as you would be pursuing it on a higher level with an MS (Which should not be a problem). There is no min or max age to do a masters, but from a personal viewpoint I believe a person should invest a some time to get relevant work experience and then go for a masters. Good luck for your exams.

[@rohankatkar8113]

Thank you. This was really helpful.

[@abhi30498]

which slot and day 1 or 2 u appear for cet ?

[@karthikbhovin]

the voice is inaudible, could you please start using mic.

[@MarketCurry]

Hi Karthik, thanks for the feedback! We are vary of this and had acknowledged the same in our first video as well. We did not have access to the mic when we recorded this episode (This was our first ever recording), but from the coming episodes you will not face any issues with the audio as we are using mics. Stay tuned!

Sir,At Present I am working as Asst Manager in Govt PSU.I have done my graduation in Mining Domain..I have been working for 6years.. Sir,I want to shift the domain to Finance,For that I am preparing for CFA Level-1 I shall give exam In November...Can You Please guide me whether pursuing Masters In Finance is better or Pursuing MBA Is better according to my profile.. And What Opportunities can we get after doing MBA..

[@MarketCurry]

Hi, congrats on your decision to pursue higher education! We believe your decision should be based your interest and goals. MBA usually requires greater work experience (Which you have). However, MS gives you the option to specialize in the domain that you are pursuing as you dive deep into the subjects. Post MBA you can get endless opportunities: In strategy consulting, auditing, as a management trainee and many more depending on what you want to pursue long term. MBA does open more avenues from a management perspective. Hope this helps!

[@jspillai1869]

Hello, My daughter got admit into MS Finance program at SMU in Dallas with a scholarship. How good is the program? What are the job prospects post completion?

[@MarketCurry]

Hi, thanks for the question! We are students from Northeastern and have less idea about SMU's program. We would urge you or your daughter to reach out to the students currently pursuing the course, possibly on LinkedIn. Further on the jobs, things are getting better but it all boils down to individual efforts and consistency in applications. Thanks!

[@harshitagrawal8868]

Hello bhaiya, I just completed my b. Com i was just wondering for masters in finance designated as stem degree Should i come in 2025 for it? What are the jobs prospects in the job market? Is it worth it to invest 70 lakhs for masters in finance?

[@MarketCurry]

Hi, the market is a little dicey at the moment. It appears good one month and bad in the next. However, the STEM OPT is a great opportunity for you to land a role in the short term and try out the H1B lottery 3 times eventually. 2025 seems to a better prospect than 2024 (Finger's crossed), but no one can say with certainty exactly what will happen. Nobody can predict the markets and neither can we. We can just tell you the current scenario, which seems to be improving.

[@rishabhmishra298]

Hi, can you please let me know the name of the professor that she took classes from in Mumbai, during her CFA Level 1? I am giving L1 in August, would be helpful.

Imarticus and the wall street school are in cp delhi for cfa couching

[@MarketCurry]

We don't have any direct experience with any institute in Delhi but The wall street school has good reviews. Edupristine is approved by CFA Institure to provide prep.

[@sonaldosui8154]

With my Experience, I believe invest into Master in Finance does not worth its price. Master in financial engineering should be the one that candidates should look for.

[@MarketCurry]

We are absolutely aligned with you on this. All the people in this video are pursuing MS Quantitative Finance and not MS Finance as we feel it is more relevant to the current dynamics

[@rudraparikh8169]

Hi, what about cfa level 1 plus masters opportunities in UK or europe?

[@MarketCurry]

Hi, thanks for the comment. CFA will always be a great add-on to your profile during your applications. While we are not subject-matter experts for UK/Europe, we can definitely suggest you to look at the job market/business environment in the region before planning your MS. Good luck!

I am CFA level 3 Candidate,comfused between to do ms finance in 2025 or do MBA in 2027( till 2027 will have worekx of 3years)??

[@MarketCurry]

Hi! This is a very subjective question. It should be based on your interest of specialising in Finance or doing a management degree plus which college you are looking at, along with other factors. There are colleges where 3 years of work ex might be considered border line, and there are others where that might be enough. Base your decision on your target schools and interests!

Thanks for the valuable information. I also live in the USA with a master of commerce from India and passed CFA level 1 and 2 on the first try. Please let me know if I get any tuition fee exemption/scholarship if I enroll in MS in the USA? Thank you.

[@MarketCurry]

You can get scholarships from India for your master's program abroad. US universities do provide scholarships. Talking about MSQF, NEU, a lot of students got a scholarship last year and it was irrespective of whether they had cleared CFA level 1 or 2 or both. The program considered the overall profile of the candidates. Universities have different policies regarding scholarships.
