Hello Mr. Voss,

I just read the article and I found it very helpful, mostly because I am a software programmer trying to switch to the finance field without experience. The little experience that I have is of the analysis of financial tools because I contributed to the development of a migration tool which could help users use their old data for the new application.
I gave my level 1 exam on December 2012 and at present I am a CFA level II candidate. I am actively looking out for jobs but haven't got any luck yet.

It would be great if you could advice me on something that I should focus on and something on which I should work upon.

Thanks,
Ratika
