What No One Tells You About CFA Level 1 | Should you pursue CFA?
Embarking on the journey to become a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is no small feat, and the first hurdle - the CFA Level 1 exam - is just the beginning. In this in-depth video, I'm diving into the realities of pursuing your CFA certification.
What are the actual benefits? What does it take to pass Level 1, and what are the common pitfalls that many don't talk about? Is the investment in time and money truly worth it? And crucially, could there be a better path for your career?
Whether you're a finance student, a professional looking to upskill, or simply curious about the CFA charter, this video is an essential watch. Don't make a decision until you've heard the unspoken truths I'm about to reveal.

I have also completed my BBA in 2024, and there are various fields like finance, HR, marketing etc in BBA general😇. I think firstly you should know about all these fields in detail, But if you have decided your career in finance, you may go for BBA finance🎓. Finance industry also have a wide range of career options💰, so take some time atleast 1st year of BBA then you should decide for various branches of finance. 🤝

In the future, it's gonna be all about AI, my friend. Forget about just thinking about the present, 'cause AI's gearing up to shake things up big time. We're talking about some serious changes here. Imagine AI swooping in and taking over tasks like risk analytics, portfolio management, even those investment banker gigs. It's like, who needs humans when you've got AI, right? Picture this: instead of companies hiring a bunch of folks, they'll probably just hit up those big-shot AI firms or snatch up AI databases. It's a win-win situation for them, super efficient and all. So yeah, brace yourselves for the AI revolution!

I think you do not know about how business works or how corporate works? If you are talented enough to grab a position nothing can stop you to do it. speaking about AI - YOU TOLD WHAT IT CAN DO. HERE, WHAT IT CANNOT DO * Cannot understand individuals mindset and emotions. * It needs a database which is coded by a human. * Many people are not so technology driven and even if they take suggestions from AI they cross check with Humans (CFAs) *AI can replace your job but not you SKILL, TALENT, INTELLIGENCE.
