I have a CFA Lvl 1 but heard that for Asset Management IMC is a must

Hello. I am planning to do a CFA level 2; however, I heard that IMC (Investment Management Certificate) is a must if I plan to work in asset management. Hence, I have a question. Should I spend my time doing both IMC levels and then move to CFA level 2? Or does doing IMC despite passing the CFA level 1 exam not make any practical sense for HR? Thank you!
