Hi Jason,
It was wonderful reading your article and getting a deep view of your insights. Thank you so much for taking the time for such a thankless job.

I'm a student from LSE pursuing the MSc Accounting & Finance program, and have completed 2 levels of the CFA program. The only "relevant" work experience I have is a 10 week internship at one of the Big 4 with the M&A and PE team. Prior to that I was a working partner in my own business in the garments retail sector for 5 years, which was alongside my Bachelors degree in India (from where I belong).
I have a few questions as follows:
1. How favorably will my 5-year work experience play out while looking for a job in the UK?
2. How much of an edge does "2 Levels of CFA" give me?
3. (most importantly) What kind of roles/banking divisions should I apply to to leverage the CFA part on my CV?
I would be really grateful to you if you could reply to my comment via an email.

Regards,
Naman
