  • Embarking on the journey to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is no small feat, and the first hurdle - the CFA Level 1 exam - is just the beginning. In this in-depth video, I'm diving into the realities of pursuing your CFA certification.
    What are the actual benefits? What does it take to pass Level 1, and what are the common pitfalls that many don't talk about? Is the investment in time and money truly worth it? And crucially, could there be a better path for your career?
    Whether you're a finance student, a professional looking to upskill, or simply curious about the CFA charter, this video is an essential watch. Don't make a decision until you've heard the unspoken truths I'm about to reveal.

    Benefits of doing CA and CFA both. And what will expected salary

    • @nishthagoelsscbs
      @nishthagoelsscbs  Před 9 dny

      CA is definitely a more demanding course, whereas CFA can be taken up alongside other things as well. So if you decide to go for both, CA should be your main priority in my opinion. Salary prospects will depend mainly on your CA completion as CFA is generally seen as an add on certification for professionals and doesn’t hold as much value standalone. You need a bachelor’s or CA (considered equivalent to graduation if you complete) to compliment CFA. Hope this answers :)

We're talking about some serious changes here. Imagine AI swooping in and taking over tasks like risk analytics, portfolio management, even those investment banker gigs. It's like, who needs humans when you've got AI, right?
    Picture this: instead of companies hiring a bunch of folks, they'll probably just hit up those big-shot AI firms or snatch up AI databases. It's a win-win situation for them, super efficient and all. So yeah, brace yourselves for the AI revolution!

      I think you do not know about how business works or how corporate works?
      If you are talented enough to grab a position nothing can stop you to do it.
      speaking about AI - YOU TOLD WHAT IT CAN DO.
      HERE, WHAT IT CANNOT DO
      * Cannot understand individuals mindset and emotions.
      * It needs a database which is coded by a human.
      * Many people are not so technology driven and even if they take suggestions from AI they cross check with Humans (CFAs)
      *AI can replace your job but not you SKILL, TALENT, INTELLIGENCE.
