Gap between passing CFA L3 and starting to gain relevant work experience

Hi guys,

I was just wondering…is there any maximum permissible gap between one’s passing the Level 3 exam, and starting to gain relevant work experience.

I expect to remain in a business (family-run) for some time before I can finally focus on gaining relevant CFA-kind work experience.

I’ve passed Level 1 and I’m on Level 2 this coming June, so considering I pass Level 3 by June 2020, can I take my time to get a CFA-related job, or are there any rules governing the time gap between gaining a Level 3 pass and completing the work experience requirement?

And is there anything else that I need to know regarding this aspect?

Regards, and thanks for your time,

No, there is no time limit whatsoever.

Recommend you complete the program and work experience asap though, good sir, as one can become too old for marriage material, then having to settle on a partner who is dried on the vine. My dear grandmother used to say this always.

Leave CFA charter for the retirement stage. At least you would spare on membership duties.
