CFA lacks placements, freshers earn ₹5-7 LPA: Akshay Sirsalewala
Akshay Kumar Sirsalewala, who cleared all CA and CFA levels, says CFA lacks campus placements, so candidates find jobs independently. A B.Com fresher with CFA can earn ₹5–7 LPA, rising to ₹12–15 LPA with experience. CFA roles focus on valuation and portfolio management, but front-end investment banking remains tough to break into with only a CFA.
