Hi,

Do you have any connections within the industry or someone who can help you in? If not.. Are you have outstanding achievements during your RMIT days or possess stellar results? Have you done any internship in an IB or boutique CF firm? If... no.. Good luck trying to find CF for your first job. You need lots of luck. Lots.

I'll be brutually honest with ya, if you possess none of the above. Your odds is so slim, it's like striking toto (group 1 or 2) maybe. CMFAS 4A won't help, because firms will pay for people they hire to take it. Even if you have it, makes no difference and doesn't give you an edge at all. CFA lvl 1 won't help too.

Meanwhile, wouldn't hurt for you to go read up what being an corporate finance analyst truly is. Then find a job which you can work your way towards CF. If you want it bad enough you will find out how. If not, you don't belong.
