Samer Kasti

hey,
I'm Samer Kasti from lebanon, a banking and finance graduate class of 2011 from American university of Science & Technology in Beirut.
My career hasn't picked up as I hoped it will, well with Saudization of the banking sector here in Saudi, where I currently live, I couldn't get an entry level job into any major banks, prolific multinational financial institution or major contender in the financial market.
After settling down for low paying numerous accounting jobs in construction companies (Telecom & Electro-mechanical mainly). I have tried going for my CFA months from my graduation, couldn't find the right discipline to do it at that time ( Exam was scheduled at JUNE 2012).I am planning on going for the exam June 2013 figured things can't get any worse.
Financial Sector in middle-east is still growing and curiosity is at its peak here in Saudi with King Abdullah Financial City (KAFD) almost near to completion. I hope that WSO would grant me all the info I need so that I could gear into the career I want, and help me acquire the knowledge I need to excel.
