We’re looking for current CFA candidates or charterholders that have work experience and find out how CFA has (or hasn’t) been useful to helping them do their jobs, find their jobs, or get promoted in their jobs.
We’ll conduct the interview through a series of questions which you can answer via email in your own time. If you’re good at writing and witty, you’ll ace this for sure!
Super easy, and we’ll send you something kick-ass for your trouble (right now we’re thinking a creatively designed 300 Hours mug delivered right to your doorstep). We’ll aim to feature the results of these interview on the 300 Hours blog, and would be more than happy to credit you (either anonymously, with a screen name, or your real name).
Just an example – we’ll think of something better 😀Just PM me if you’d like to contribute for one of these roles. First come first served!
The types of jobs we’re looking for are:
- Portfolio Manager
- Research Analyst
- Chief Executive / Business Owner
- Management Consultant
- Corporate Financial Analyst
- Financial Advisor
- Relationship Managers, Sales & Marketing
- Risk Manager
- Investment Banking
- Accountant/Auditor
- Strategist
- Trader
- Broker

@Zee Product Controllers (or book-runners) in the traditional sense look after P&L reporting for the trading desks. Typically the role involves understanding the structures and deals that a desk will put together and obtaining sign-off from the traders to say they are happy with the daily P&L, however there’s a much broader scope as you’ll also be a point of contact for Finance when it comes to balance sheet reporting, Credit and Market Risk, Middle Office for trade booking, business control groups for various bank reporting elements, and so on. In certain cases (at least at my current bank), some of the controllers also run the balance sheets for their respective areas.
CFA is more often than not the qualification of choice (CIMA, FRM or perhaps QRM are other options) as it provides a broad range of knowledge and is helpful for career mobility if you want to move into a front-office related role further down the line, even though most will never use FRA or corporate finance in their day-to-day work.
