This is their website:

www.ims-inti.com

I think it's a combination of Malaysian Institute of Management (MIM) and INTI ?

Had a question in my mind..

Let's say I graduate when I'm 22 years old (common age).

Then I have two options:

(i) Start working in IB.. Enter through internship..then junior analyst, then associate etc.
(ii) Direct into CFA programme

I wouldn't want to work and study at the same time, coz I don't think I'll be able to.


The duration comparison of the above:
By the end of a 3 year period,

I assume that with (i) I'll definitely already be at a middle analyst level, and waiting probably one or two years to make it to senior analyst or even an associate. AGE: 25

I assume that with (ii), I will still have to enter as an analyst, doing freshie tasks.
AGE: 25


That's my dilemma. Whether it's a wrong perception or not, kindly advise.

As far as i know, nobody do CFA full-time (not like ACCA). Most study for it while working.

In worst case, people just resigned from their jobs a few months before the exam and studied for it.

Yeah, after some thinking, I guess what makes it more valuable is the challenge it poses to full time professionals, i.e. work and study.
Gotta endure 2 to 3 years of lack of sleep, especially if in IB..

What industry are you in?

Man, that's a great resource.

Almost everything's consolidated and it one place.

In your case most likely an MBA from a good place will help.

Since you don't have a degree, you'll need work experience.
