Depends on where you are, what you'll do and how you'll do it, but definitely not on CFA Level 1. |

Surely it all depends on where you are and the currency involved... |
| Daddykay @2009-03-26 21:26:35 |
All CFA Charter holders in Egypt combined, if atall they exist, do not make 320K. |

I m working in one of the big 4 accounting BPO firm in India. I have finished my M.B.A in Finance(part time) and planning to do CFA level 1. i have one year of work experience. Can I expect a higher salary and if yes than how much salary I can expect after I clear level 1? |
| RepeterL1 @2009-05-04 12:21:29 |
May be yes, may me no, may be rain may be snow... My experience: it depends heavily on your starting position and your records... |

For the time being, the more you work with the RBS the less your salary... |

Level I is not enough to get you anywhere. Most people who take the exam seriously pass. Employers also know that the CFA is only a professional certification, rather than actual investment experience. Your salary will depend very much on your experience and value you will be bringing to the firm. That said, CFA certificate, in the end, is a valuable thing to have on your resume. You can find the salary information for CFAs online. Best of luck! |

CFA does not necessarily mean you can command a higher salary. It gives you the tools to advance and perform you job efficiently. I think that is why the pay for charterholders is very high. I don't think it is because they passed three test. It also depends upon how well you leverage it. I work in Corp Finance in the US. I was suprised by how many people really do not know about the CFA program. It is definatly WAY more relevant in investment management that in Corp Finance. This is the first job out of college so I keep telling myself its all experience while I pass Level 2/3 and get ready for the MBA. Hopefully long term this will be well worth the effort. |

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
