    People do get jobs after passing the CFA L1 exam; however it’s really hard to find a good job (especially in India) due to the fierce competition.

    You must be extremely proactive and persistent in your search for a decent job. This is due to the fact that thousands of people may have passed Level 1. This means that in order to be a competitive job applicant, you must improve both your technical skills (Like excel and Financial Modeling) and your CV. You should also read widely and keep up with current events.

    In response to your question on employment possibilities, you could apply for the positions of research analyst, business analyst, investment analyst, etc. To get a better understanding, you may also check out LinkedIn and go to career fairs. However, passing all CFA levels will undoubtedly open up better job opportunities

    The best thing is that you can find work after passing any level of the CFA exam, not just the last one. If you pass the CFA level 1 exam, you can work for a number of financial institutions and major companies.

    You can apply for positions in a variety of specialties, such as risk analyst, portfolio manager, and research analyst. You can get a chance to work with some of the largest multinational corporations (MNCs) in the world, including Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, HSBC, and PWC. You get to connect with some of the most brilliant financial minds, gain a solid understanding of financial ideas, and learn skills that set you apart.  

    The first level’s curriculum ensures your knowledge of a wide range of financial topics. Even if you haven’t completed all three levels, your training makes you a desirable hire (Top it up with Financial Modeling and Valuation Certification). While it is ideal to eventually finish the entire CFA course, you can take a short break after level 1, gain some useful work experience, and then go on to get your charter.

    The CFA Level 1 syllabus is fairly basic. In all honesty, it doesn’t have much of an effect on your profile. If you want to enter the finance stream, passing the CFA Level 1 exam might help you “a little,” but I don’t believe it will help you if your goal is to build a strong profile. CFA level 2 is, in my opinion, a must. The cause could be “valuation,” as it is not covered at Level 1 (which is heavily weighted in Level 2).

    I’d like to share my experience. Since I am an engineer, the CFA level 1 program really helped me develop the basics of Finance—specifically, the investment research field—so don’t expect anything more.

    Therefore, it would be a waste of time and money if your only goal is to pass CFA Level 1 and you have no desire to move on to the next t

    Yes, there are job opportunities after clearing CFA Level 1.

    After weeks of assiduous studying, reviewing, and effort—possibly even some anxiety—you have successfully passed Level I of the CFA exam. And now you might be curious about how it will impact your career life when you accomplish this first objective.

    Allow me to share with you the range of fields in which CFA Level 1 candidates typically find employment.

    1. Asset management
    2. Accounting and finance
    3. Equities
    4. Risk management

    These are merely examples of fields in which students can also find employment, but there are also a number of elite finance profiles where CFA Level 1 cleared candidates can get placed; including investment banking, hedge funds, venture capital, and credit rating agencies.
