CFA: Careers For All

In this session, Robin Koroluk and Jordan Wilson discuss the CFA designation and career paths.   While CFA does stand for "Chartered Financial Analyst", it can also easily mean "Careers For All". CFAs come from all educational and technical backgrounds. CFAs are employed in all types of roles in all types of business sectors. There are enjoyable careers available for all backgrounds, interests, and personalities.   00:45 𝐂𝐅𝐀: 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐭 What is a "Financial Analyst"? Is it all about crunching numbers in a back room? Or is there more to financial analysis than just numbers and calculations?   09:00 𝐂𝐅𝐀: 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 "𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐣𝐨𝐫𝐬" Do you need a finance major or even a business degree to have a successful career in finance? If you have a non-finance education, is it possible to become a CFA and work in finance? If you have another professional skill set, such as accounting or law, can a CFA add additional value?   12:00 𝐂𝐅𝐀: 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 "𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬" Are all CFAS back-room introverts? Are there any finance roles for extroverts or those in-between? Do you want a stable "9 to 5" job or do you crave non-stop excitement with lots of job pressure? Do you prefer consistent salary and compensation? Or do you want to "eat what you hunt"?   As the title states, Chartered Financial Analyst, yes. But also "Careers For All".
