Howdy, all. I'm a techie at one of those hideously large software firms in Bangalore, and have grandiose visions of clearing L1 this Decemeber. I'm trying to find out if (and how many) people following this thread are from B'lore. What I really mean by that, of course, is that I'd like to know how many people have photocopy-able Shwesars in B'lore.
BTW, bloody nice thread. Now that it's found me, I'll keep inflicting myself on ya'll nice folks every now and then.

Hie,

I am also planning to give CFA Level 1 in June 2007....
Right now I have no study guide or anything... just browsing through this highly informative thread for pointers...
If there is anyone from Mumbai who wants to form a study group in Mumbai and pool in for books, notes etc.. pls come forward...

Thanks

hii,
i'm a final year electronics engineering student from IIT kharagpur and as usual interested in IB. It's better if i can get into private equity or venture capital. But i feel i need some IB exp before it. I've read through(or going to take courses as audit from VGSOM) derivatives, merger aquisition analysis, corporate finance, risk management....
Though companies like goldman sachs, lehman bros., ML, JPMC american bank etc coms to the campus and recruit btechs as analysts...I would like to know what exactly they seek in a probable candidate.
In fact i would like to try for us or uk based posting as well
and in that case i'll chuck iima/b/c even if i get them through cat06
so guys ,specially those who r already working in IB,PE,VC, plzz help me to aquire the needed expertise towards a career in IB->PE,VC
is it possible to apply for cfa (aimr) now itself..?
and reference to books is very much welcome
by the way what ever i have read abt fin related thngs is not documented coz either i took them as audit or self reading
if possible plzz tell me some internationally creditable course or certification...something i can showoff in my goldman sachs etc interview or will help me get the shortlist

What has happened to this thread? Only questions and no answers.

The thread leader have run after facing music on June 4 L 1. I knew it in advance.

Lets keep this thread alive without the leader and i think some of the guys here are doing good job to answer queries.
