Career Resources
Also, My parents won't pay for it. Although, I got some money saved by doing sidejobs and trading, 1650$ is still kinda a serious number for me.

yeah, I'll probably go network an intern for this summer. 1650 is just too much for me.
Tbh CAIA is only worth it for a select group of people working in WM, investment consulting, and FoF. Even then, most firms that want you to get it will pay for it on your behalf. Definitely not worth it to pay out of pocket as a freshman who wants to working at a HF
Appreciate the input, I think I'm gonna pass on this CAIA thing
You can do the IMC (but be aware that it's UK specific) but tbh no certification is gonna be worth it's time for internship apps (even CFA L1). You'd have much better results networking for a first year internship.
HFs don't care about the CFA as much as you think. AM cares, ER cares but HFs? Meh.
As someone else said, CAIA isn't gonna do shit for you. I second the notion that its mainly held by WM/FoF/Investment Consulting guys (basically allocators) rather than anything that is on your target career trajectory.
Thanks for the input. I had a look on IMC, it seems most of its contents are covered by my finance degree. I feel there is really not much I can get from it except a certification on my CV, so I'm gonna pass but maybe I'll do CFA1 in my third year.
Trust me, neither the CFA L1 nor IMC is actually about learning stuff. It's just optics. You'll get to CFA L1 and probably have covered most of it (apart from the nitty gritty) by your third year. You're not doing it to learn.
IMC has regulatory implications too, some places will make you do it before you start FT.
This isn't saying you should do it, just giving you some perspective.
