VC, PE, and ibanking do not care about CFA

It doesn’t besides demonstrating some interest in finance. I’m speaking as someone who has passed all 3 levels and is waiting on his charter.

Network with folks in those fields and get some advice and or mentorship.

CFA def doesn’t hurt, but experience in finance / analysis in a demanding environment is going to be prefered. Graduating from a top MBA program is probably the most common path.

I’ve seen folks more from ancillary industries to iBanking. For example Freddie Mac trade desk to a bulge bracket.

You could definitely leverage a CFA charter to make moves into industry as a first step.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..

Is there a way to give them that feedback? And is it even worth it anyway?

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews. Very frustrating and feel like they wasted my time in the end. Just a shambolic interview process in which I felt like a placeholder till they found who they really wanted.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
