Hello,
I've a very specific question. I've passed CFA Level 2 and I'm currently working as an equity research analyst but looking to switch to Consulting post-MBA. Do you think mentioning CFA Level 2 on my application can have negative implications? Do you think it would make more sense to the admission committee if I stick to finance career post-MBA since I have done CFA Level 2?
Thanks

It will not have any negative connotations. Rather, it will be taken as a positive. The skills picked up through the CFA program are not just useful for finance and investment, but also for business analysis and problem-solving in general. These are therefore valuable for your MBA apps as well as for applying to consulting positions later.
Rather than worry about this, focus on creating a coherent story on why you wish to switch from equity research to consulting and how an MBA fits in with that objective. All the best!

Thank you so much for your reply Gyanone. As I said in another thread I'm also working on my back-up option story as well. As schools often ask about your plans in case your preferred plans fail. And I'm gonna try to present a robust plan not just a shot in the dark. Its not like I'm sick of a career in finance its just that I'm more leaned towards consulting. Do you think sticking to finance would make my application stronger especially keeping in mind my CFA credentials?

Hi Brian:
Any professional skills will only strengthen your profile. CFA is globally accredited degree and each level you clear you would further improve your chances of admission. There are few thousands of CFAs worldwide of which only few apply to leading programs. However you should use this strength to your advantage. It would be advisable to stick to finance or general management as post-MBA career goals. Clarity of thought on the functions and industry you want to get in to post your MBA and how you would use your time during your course of the program helps in justify your point of view.
