Message: <blockquote data-quote="bachan" data-source="post: 40492" data-attributes="member: 6945">Hi, After graduating in 2008, I started out applying for quantitative analyst position but after a few calls with the employers, they mentioned they would like to have seen me in a programming role at my current position so that didn't work out too well.  Afterwards, I focused my attention into applying for positions like research analyst where I can make use of my technical background.  I have yet to get a single call/interview since I shifted my attention to this.My MBA is in finance.  I considered taking the CFA but wasn't sure if it going to help me at all.  I'm afraid I will be in the same situation as I am in right now.But I'll put some thoughts into taking the CFA again.  Thanks.</blockquote>
