TESTIMONIALS
“With an engineering degree and around 3 years working on various data management processes for a top US bank, I was looking to broaden my skills and to increase my domain understanding. The members of IAFI spent a lot of time understanding my needs and helped me identify FRM® as the most relevant. Attending their sessions was an amazing experience for me as I could quickly understand complex financial products and I could clear my exam comfortably. I am now transitioning to the role of a business analyst for the same client. Three cheers to IAFI” – Anurag, Business Analyst at a top IT firm
“I have around 3 years of experience as a data architect. Having cleared my CFA® Level 1 exam, I was still waiting for the right kind of opportunities in the financial space. IAFI founders analyzed my profile and suggested a 3-month intensive project in equity valuation to strengthen my candidature. With heir help I could identify a couple of relevant openings and now I am happily employed as a junior analyst for the captive unit of a Wall Street firm. Thank you IAFI” – Rajesh, Equity Analyst
“I was from a technical background when I thought of taking CFA® program having no prior knowledge in the finance domain. Lot of confusion was there due to my background, high cost, course content etc. But after meeting IAFI guys the confidence came itself as they all were the experts of finance domain with MBAs from top universities and they are the one who teach. The course schedule is well planned in advance and everyone gets individual attention. I was able to clear my CFA-L1 in first attempt following them. I strongly recommend this for people coming from varied backgrounds." – Sumit, 3+ years as Semi-conductor Engineer with a top firm
“Doing an MBA was not enough to grab the job of my choice in the financial services sector. Only one month to finish my course I was without a job. I was lucky to come across IAFI then. They advised me taking up the SMA course to get ahead of the crowd in the job race. I was surprised to learn how little I knew about the practical aspects of a job despite my MBA. Their guidance in targeting prospective employers was very useful and I got current job within a month of completing the course. Thanks IAFI”. - Sudipto Das, An MBA from a Bangalore based college working with a global financial services firm now
“Mid-career switch is no mean task. I had a stagnant job with a large Indian IT firm and saw little growth ahead.
A friend suggested IAFI to me and I thank him for that. IAFI suggested me gaining financial domain knowledge and try to move into the IT division of a financial services company. I took their SMA course and felt the difference. I was clearly able to impress my interviewers at a leading global investment banking company and bagged the job. I recommend IAFI to anyone looking for a growth in financial services and affiliated areas.” – Swati, An engineer who switched from an Indian IT company to a global investment bank's IT department
“I was bored with my sales job in bank. There was limited growth potential and little scope to add value. I wanted to get into a more intellectually stimulating and rewarding job. Having tried my ways a failed I came to IAFI. They know their business well. After checking my exposure in the banking sector they suggested me to take up a in-depth project work. I never know of the intricacies involved in such a job and aspired even more to be an analyst through my project work with them. My mentor was thorough in the field and explained me the finer details lucidly. Four months later I was confident enough to float my resume and ask for an analyst job. I did not have to face second interview. Thanks IAFI!!” – A wealth management consultant turned analyst
“I always knew that cracking the L-1 exam of the CFA® program was a tough proposition for me. With the high cost of the exam and my tight schedule at work, I was not sure about attempting the exam until I met the folks at IAFI. After attending their classes and following their study program, I managed to clear the exam in my first attempt itself. I strongly recommend IAFI for all working professionals like myself.” – Business Analyst deputed to a Wall Street firm by a leading IT firm
