Re: CFA Exam
I have a CFA, and it was not a pleasant experience, and I think it gets continually more difficult. It is valuable to have, and will have a good chance of making the difference when looking for an analyst OR trader job.
I think currently about 12% of applicant's go 3 for 3 in consecutive tests, and a huge number of people drop out before even taking the tests, of those that take it, something like 45% pass level !, 50% level II and 55% level III (stats probably on AIMR website and changes year to year).
in conclusion, it is difficult, but i think worth it if you are somewhat certain you want to go in that route.
