Hi all Wilmotters,I have a career related query and since I feel people on this forum have already traversed the path that I am looking to travel in future.Hence my query.# I personally don't like programming that much, however I am not afraid of it either.Right now I am pursuing CFA and working in an IT Consultancy.# My aim is to secure a core finance role (equity research,FI research etc ) after completing MFE.I am flexible to the extent that I can be a finance guy who can code, that is 50 :50 break up into finance and IT.However I would prefer not to be pigeonholed into a quant developer or a programmer who knows some finance.#So what would be your suggestion in this case.1.)Do you think MFE from a descent program a reasonable path towards my aim ? 2.)Would clearing CFA Level II would help me in getting the role I want ? Or is it of marginal benefit unless you have solid finance experience.
