This is how we got brainwashed to look for a job or the credibility of any certificate to care why we please any employer,why can't we go for our own startup after cfa it gives enough knowledge to get the fund and all many ways are there.

[@ak2849]

Lol. Obviously you know nothing about running a fund or having a CFA. If a CFA gives you so much capability to start and run a fund why don't all CFAs get 40-50lpa jobs? The practical world and the theoretical world are universes apart. It takes RAW understanding of stock market to pick stocks and make a good return. No CFA can teach you that. Actually most CAs and CFAs that I meet know very little about the market and still seek my advice 😂

Stand alone cfa is enough for job or not?

[@quintedge]

Apart from pursuing CFA, it is advisable that CFA candidates must work on adding skillls in the resume Here are some points for your referrnce 1) you must learn ADVANCE EXCEL, VBA and other relevant softwares - WORD, PPT 2) if you like to make your career in IB, EQUITU RESEARCH then You must learn FINANCIAL MODELLING. Employers like to hire people who own financial modeling skills over those who don't have the same, considering the growing demand for financial modeling professionals. 3) Update yourself regularly with all the business news. Start reading Newspaper like MINT ET, Business Standard Subscribe to Business Magazines like Capital Market, Economist, Dala Street.
