Planning to make a career in finance? ⭐️ A lot of students aspire to be an investment banker, financial analyst, risk manager etc in top tier firms, but what are the courses that one needs to pursue to make a top-notch career in finance? 💡 Here is the list - (Not considering MBA/CA here) 1. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) - I’ve said this time and again that CFA is without a doubt the best course in finance and can give you a massive edge in the field. It has 3 levels, usually take around 2-3 years to complete and costs around 3-3.5 lacs. 2. FRM (Financial Risk Management) - Probably the second best but the most important one when it comes to the risk management field. It has 2 levels, takes around 1-1.5 years and costs around 2 lacs. It dwells into every aspect of risk management and is a must if you’re planning this side of finance. 3. Financial Modeling & Valuations - What makes this course special is the practical aspect in it. When I did FRM, I got plenty of books at my home to study. Same with CFA or pretty much every course. With FMVA, it’s all done on excel and hence this makes it different from the others. A must-learn skill in the field of finance. Other mentions - In Big 4 firms if you are not planning to do CA then CPA and ACCA adds great value especially as a fresher. 👌🏻 In finance - CFP, CWM, CAIA etc are also good courses but I personally rank CFA and FRM higher. A thorough research can be done on your part too to make a final call. 💯 Made a video on top 5 finance courses that help you land a job.
