JustasS

Hi
I am having 5 years of experience as software engineer in middle office in financial firm. Anyone aware if cfa considers such experience in eligliblity for membership

hoangvu90

does experience in corporate finance(no involvement in investment process) consider for membership?

I got my software developer work experience approved yesterday!

Doesn't matter much, as I would have my 48th month of financial advising behind me this August, but it was nice to know that a computer job that I hated but took specifically for CFP work experience counted for both CFP and CFA.

I basically wrote algorithms to detect/calculate a bunch of technical indicators and code to display them on charting data, though I gave a longer and more detailed writeup in my profile.

^ I guess I'm wondering about how many people fall into the categories of

1) passed L3 at about age 22/23 with <2 yrs of experience [or]

2) passed L3 but work in a totally non-investment field.

I wonder how many people pass L3 and then have to wait years to get the charter?

Or never get it?

Maybe because it would not directly be involved in an investment process?
