CFA is a great credential

I don’t think you need a CFA to go into valuations. If you are going into valuations at accounting firm, just know you’ll be performing valuations for financial reporting or tax purposes vs. the investment valuations you do at PE let’s say.

Hi All,
I have cleared all 3-4 round of interviews in Apisero by 26 Dec. HR also taken all the documents like salary slips etc.

She said offer may take some time due to new year holidays. Now they are saying they have freezed all the new offers.

Is this correct? Apisero is not rolling out any new offers?

The interview process take weeks of time and multiple rounds. So just wanted to know what is the point of all these rounds.
