Is CSC the best exam for immediate employability in the Financial Services sector?
Eventual Goal: I would like to eventually work as a Fee-Only Financial Planner in an established firm or a practice of my own. QAFP and then eventually CFP seems to be standard path for this.
Immediate goal: I am looking at entry-level financial advisory positions at banks/investment as an entry into this field. I was under the impression that CSC is the key to most entry level banking jobs but I am not sure now. Employability to a job in financial services is a key requirement for me because of the experience requirements for QAFP.
Current qualifications: Passed LLQP, Hold a WES-certified international degree (Master's in Commerce)
Reason for asking: I saw that there have been changes in the CSC requirement for CIRO. I want to make sure that I invest time in preparing for and attempting exams that would give me the best chances at employability in the financial services sector.
I would like to hear from folks like you in the industry about what exam I should focus on prepping for.
Thank you all again for your time.
