Hey @mdrehan4
The CFA charter helps in a finance job hunt, but it doesn’t automatically entitle you to one. The latter part is important – candidates should realise that there is a lot more to finding an attractive finance job besides ‘getting a qualification’. That’s the reason why we cover a lot of job-hunting advice in the blog as well. CV-writing, interviewing and networking are equally, if not more important than the CFA exams if you’re specifically after a job.
I don’t think any factor can really serve as a decisive factor in denying you jobs. It’s true that your CV may put you at an disadvantage to others, but you then counter that with aggressive networking – you should be at an advantage in connections compared to fresh grads. You may also find that you can find a suitable job, but perhaps not at the level of seniority you’d like. In the end you’ll have to compare each scenario and make a personal choice.
We have a few sections that will help you further:
