There’s demand for Candleholders in Canada, just way too much supply.

Also huge preference for CPA’s for some reason.

ya’ll got a lot of handles to hold, eh?

#8

what you really should be asking is where is there a big unmet need for CFA Charterholders. demand high means crap if the supply is already 5x available demand. in short, Thailand

#9

definitely not in India, try searching jobs with “MBA” and then with “CFA”, you will see the great disparity in your search results.

I am happy to be proven incorrect

I’m starting to think the CFA only has career value to those already in buy-side positions. The Catch-22, of course, is most people in buy-side positions most likely don’t need the designation to advance. The material/knowledge is valuable, but it seems the job prospects post-CFA are overrated. That said, I haven’t done the CFA networking bit so I may be wildly mistaken.
