"Will it be easy for me to move into finance once I clear Level 1?"

What do you mean by "move into finance?" You want to move to the back-office, IB, ER, HF, PE???

Be a little bit more specific.

Plus, clearing L3 is not guaranteed to easily take you anywhere, talkless of clearing L1.

Now I think shifting to another department internally (ER, Trading...etc) is a better route than depending on the CFA.

I'm a big believer in networking and gaining experience. Passing the CFA will help, but is not going to guarantee anything really.
