In some ways, this industry is like Harvard. The hardest part is breaking in. I know what it feels like, trust me. This isn't exactly happy advice, but the longer you drag out the process, the harder it becomes.

The back office positions are much easier to get into. I know a few that have tried that route to get in, but you're still looking at a large uphill battle

As a former auditor all I can say is that passing CFA all level will not get you into the audit field.
Auditing firm will ask if you have taken all the required accounting and auditing courses,
to carry out the audit.

CPA is for auditing, CMA is for cost accounting and budgeting.

I think you and I are facing the same dilemma,
overqualified for many entry level jobs but underqualified for many jobs that require experience.

Argh...
