Re: CFA Exam

If I ran a big firm and a clean-cut person with good manners came into my office with one (two would be better) good stock research report, I'd hire them without any concern of which school they went to or what letters came after their name.
Start developing your own track record, write some research reports and have your colleagues critique them, and you'll be well on your way. Good luck.

I agree with most of this, but I think you might be better off at a smaller firm. Bigger firms are more likely to put up hurdles to jump over. Smaller firms will often hire a smart person when they find them. At least we seem to.
As far as the exam, I think it is too watered down now and has become a "union card." Unfortunately, you still need it if you don't have experience.
