Hi ! About CFA, it is pretty tough and you have to meet their requirments to enroll I have cleared level 1 and am working in a bank as a fund manager. CFA helps alot if you know what line of work you want to opt for. It helps you getting job interviews, provides you extensive knowledge, and you can bargain your salary status easily. I recon if you are thinking of a career as an investment banker then go for it. But it is alot of mental and physical work involved in getting to CFA level 1 and about the salary structure its around a 100,000 per level ( thats what i have figured ). My advise to you will be stick to one organisation clear some professional courses and enroll yourself in a good CFA prep school ( spend some money to make some ) .
