Thanks for the answer, Sophie! Would the degree matter as I move up in the ranks? I know that a lot of MBA holders get hired as senior analysts right out of business school…if my information is correct. Would I have to go back and get my MBA in order to move up, or can my performance and whether or not I hold the charter substitute for that?

Thank you again! And I’m so excited to be starting this journey, and that I have found this forum early on. I can see that it’s going to be really helpful alone the way.

Hi @skareemoutloud

I’d reflect @sophie’s advice – invest as much time as you can into learning about the industry as you can. A medical degree shows a lot of discipline and I’ve seen quite a few in the finance industry so it’s a function of making sure you put yourself in front of the right firms and people.

We cover a lot of career-related advice in the blog – these should get you started:

https://300hours.com/how-to-network-effectively/
https://300hours.com/how-to-prepare-for-an-interview/

Good luck with the job hunt and CFA exams!

Thank you so much for this! I figured the degree would be useful in the sense that it shows discipline at least haha. I wil definitely look through those links. I’m sorry if I sound like a huge noob, but I am still getting familiar with this forum!

Thanks again!

I’m sorry, I meant to say that I have the 2014 notes for the June 2014 exam!
