Default Re: planning on switching my career to finance. how to go about it.

Maybe I wasnt too clear on my original post.

* By job in a financial services company I dont mean working as Trader or Financial Planner. I am mostly interested in a job like Equity Analyst.

* I have read different sites and realise how tough it is to crack the CFA exams. But the idea i am getting from most that an MBA with a finance degree wont help me get through in a financial services company. I looked at the curriculum of some MBA (finance) programs and they have courses like Investment Analysis, Portfolio Management etc. These are not
good enough ?

* I was under the impression that people from non business/finance undergrad backgrounds can always get an MBA in Finance (ie people from engineering/arts backgrounds) and still get their foot in the door in a financial services company.
