        Hi @fazil, welcome to the 300H community 🙂

        Is there any particular sub sector in banking/finance that you’re aiming for? If it is just general finance where you have a rotation, I feel that at this stage with your MBA is more than sufficient for an internship.

        However, you may want to look into CFA as you go through your internship and explore your interest. CFA can be especially useful for equity/credit research, asset management and to a certain extent corporate finance, although not a requirement for these roles. Hope this helps!

            @fazil‌ I’m in asset management. Regarding your question:

            Will it help your future job applications? Yes it will.

            Will get you a job for sure? No. Your credentials get you an interview, and how you do from there influences whether you get a job.

              hey @‌sophie , thanks you =) , and regarding the sub-sector in finance I’ve always been interested in portfolio/asset management. If i were to intern in an asset management firm and complete a level -2 CFA (hopefully) by the time I get my MBA would that help me with future job applications??
