Hello everyone,
Seeking some guidance on how to approach the market for some ‘relevant work experience’ . Just passed the Level 3 exam but have no experience in the investment field (unusual… I guess) . I am a Chartered Accountant and have worked for more than 5 years (post qualification) as a Finance Manager, but nothing ‘relevant’ for the award of my charter… any suggestions? Which level should I expect to be hired at in the industry?

Hi @Nida_shah00 – I believe your work as a chartered accountant may qualify as relevant work experience. It’s quite a broad term, but as you’re directly finance related it’s highly likely you’ve covered aspects of the relevant work experience that can be included. I believe @Zee’s the expert on this.

Welcome @Nida_shah00. What did your experience as a finance manager cover? I mean to ask your job role.
