Hi Atul,

You are extremely fortunate because you live in a financial capital, as well as in the city that is home to one of the largest, most active, CFA Societies. CFA Society Toronto is extremely energetic and helpful in helping young candidates and aspiring financial professionals.

Separately, writing computer code provides a solid underpinning for logical, analytical thinking. You need to emphasize this skill set in your recruitment package. Also, the ability to write computer code is also a sought after skill in finance, ranging from creating financial models that interact with financial databases, to creating sophisticated trading algorithms. Once you know more about what you want to do, then you can begin to recognize which of your current skills finds expression in finance. Then you can adjust your messaging to reflect that understanding.

I hope that helps!

Yours, in service,

Jason
