Where does the CFA route actually take you?
Rate yourself on ethics, quantitative methods, economics, financial reporting, markets and portfolio management. The advisor scores your fit across the roles CFA charterholders actually move into, and gives you a twelve-week plan for the one that suits you.
Profile-based
Weighted scoring against your own background, not one role recommended to everybody.
Skills gap
Your strengths, what to develop next, and the areas to close before an interview.
Action plan
A practical twelve-week roadmap for the role that fits you best.
The 6 routes it scores you against
Each one leads to a different role, and to different interviews.
Equity Research Analyst
Suits people who enjoy pulling a company apart - statements, drivers, competitive position - and defending a view in writing.
Portfolio Manager
For people who think in portfolios rather than single names - allocation, risk budget and mandate discipline.
Risk Manager
For quantitative thinkers who would rather measure exposure than pick winners.
Investment Banking Analyst
For people who want deals: modelling under deadline, diligence and the pitch.
Credit Analyst
For people who read a balance sheet asking whether it will be repaid.
Wealth & Private Banking Advisor
For people who are good with clients as well as numbers - goals, suitability and long horizons.

CFA openings — India
Live listings collected from public job boards and refreshed daily.
What the live listings show
The same listings, counted five different ways.
Openings by product / category
How to read these
Each vacancy once
A role posted on several job boards is counted once, from the first board that listed it.
Skills are multi-valued
One job can ask for several skills at once, so skill counts exceed job counts.
A direction, not a census
These charts show visible demand patterns; they are not the whole Indian market.
