McKinsey & Company Anyone asked McKinsey & Company to sponsor their CFA exam?

I work with the banking practice. Though I don’t see CFA to directly make a positive effect on the work I do, but it would definitely add more theoretical and financial knowledge.

I see that the co. has a policy if the team manager agrees then they sponsor. So just asking around for experiences. Thanks in advance!

Ask a partner in the practice to see if there is some budget for learning such as CFA.

Challenge with this isn’t the money, but the time. The firm has supported me with my certification/designations, but it was all prior to my joining the firm. CFA is pretty time intensive, so be mindful of that

Dumb question, but does the type of work you do qualify in terms of the hours requirement? (Not suggesting it wouldn’t, just curious!)

YES (they did for me).
