During Career Impulse Meetings we are bringing closer the stories of some outstanding CFA Charterholders whose careers did not go in the direction one would typically expect. We show the stories of people who strayed away from a usual finance career and had the courage to go on a completely different journey. Together with these people, we will explore how their journeys evolved since they became CFA Charterholders, what helped them to make a decision to move away from typical finance roles. We will discuss whether CFA Charter is still of the importance to them and what finance skills did they took over to the new role as well as what was it that they still had to learn. Our goal is also to evaluate the impact of being a CFA Charterholder on their success in the current role.
Over the next few months, throughout a series of 1h webinars, you will get to know a number of inspiring individuals that decided to leave typical finance career and started off a journey of combining their finance knowledge and the knowledge of financial markets with the technology and all the advanced solutions that today’s world has to offer. We will immerse into the career path of our guest and learn the key drivers of their career decisions and the journeys they made until they got to the place they are today. We will explore the skills needed to be successful in technological companies and learn what these companies seek in candidates from a finance field. We will also try to establish what set of skills an ideal candidate thinking of such a career should have and what are the strategies to get them.
