想大概了解一下本论坛CFA考生的工作背景。一般是做和Finance有关工作的人想进一步深造？还是其他行业的想通过CFA转行？

However, I think the case here might be some sort of different than the official statistics...

大大门帮忙

fresh graduates...though some people did get better than that this year....

多谢各位大虾！

and still hoping some one can go with me...

most established securities houses have their corporate finance department, which help corporate clients raise funds from the equity capital markets. of course when it comes to ibanking, traditional banks do have their distinct advantage over securities house since they are blessed with a deeper pocket. But, i am afraid to say, if you always carry things onto your balance sheet, you are far from being a good ibank.

another matter of fact is that most bulge bracket/first tier ibanks, e.g. GS, ML, MS, SSB, Lehmen, etc, started as securities houses.
