What is the real annual salary of CFA holders in China?

Many classmates often ask Gao Dunjun:

What kind of career can you get after passing the first level exam? What kind of career can you get after passing the Level 2 exam? What kind of career can you get after passing CET-3?

In this regard, Gao Dunjun’s answer is that it is not the most important thing to do in the first, second and third levels respectively. What students should be more concerned about is how to become a charterholder. On this basis, further career planning will be carried out.

Only by truly becoming a charterholder can the CFA certificate play its greatest role, become a true proof of personal value, and bring the greatest benefits to broadening career choices.

To this end, we might as well set a small goal first: become a charterholder first!

In addition, there is a saying: Those who do not want to become a CFA charterholder with a high annual salary are not ambitious CFA people. After becoming a CFA charterholder, our final goal should be: to achieve a million-dollar annual salary and reach the pinnacle of life.

For this reason, we need to understand which positions with an annual salary of one million are CFA's highly competitive?

Gao Dunjun searched the major recruitment networks on the Internet and found that among the following 10 positions with an annual salary of one million, the CFA certificate is regarded as a bonus certificate that can prove the ability of job seekers. CFA certificate holders Have better competitiveness.

Students can learn about it and use it as a reference for future career planning.

In any profession, in addition to the threshold set by the certificate, more efforts are required to enter the palace of success. Whether students are on the way to obtain the CFA or seniors who have become charterholders, they must focus on the accumulation of knowledge and experience.
