        Hello,

        I am a commerce graduate and I was thinking of applying for CFA this year. It would be great if you could share your opinion on CFA course in terms of difficulty level, the work experience required to obtain the certificate and its placements/types of jobs available in India.
        It would be a huge help. Thank you so much!

        I would suggest you to take the cfa exam level 1 only if you are planning to take level 2 too. There are so many people who just take level 1 and not level 2, honestly i feel then its just a wastage of time and effort and money!

        otherwise, i guess there will be opportunities after cfa and even if not, you will learn a lot, the learning process has its own ups and downs but it is a fun process.

        All the best!

          I think two things are key – enthusiasm for the material and the ability to manage your time.

          We don’t have any India-specific career advice though.
