sorry, having the CFA charter doesn’t open a ton of doors.  at best, it gives you a slight nudge if you managed to get more than a foot in the doorway.
having work experience is what opens doors.
The only career path I see where you may be limited is in portfolio management.  someone that doesn’t have stellar returns to show, but someone ready to run money.  having the CFA behind you will help here, attracting funds, or as a private wealth manager
