I had a colleague at Big 4 make the move to a well respected MM after 2 years in audit.

Within their Equity research group. He only had a CPA, nothing on CFA (although i imagine he’s been grinding through those ever since).

Hello everyone!

I’m currently studying for my CFA designation, and will be taking the Level 1 exam in May 2023.

I don’t have a background in studying Finance/Economics like most CFA candidates, instead I went to school for Neuroscience. My end goal is to pursue Portfolio Management.

Is anyone else here pursuing their CFA without any education background in related fields? I would love to hear the opinion on those who are going into this with a fresh pair of eyes - any advice would help!
