Also bumping this thread.
I just finished my diploma of accounting at BCIT and taking the Accounting Degree this upcoming semester. I will be taking CFA level 1 this December and have spent most of summer completing 2/3rd of the readings. Most of it is just a review of what I learned in the diploma. I also accepted an offer at a retail banking position at RBC, so I can work and go to school full-time.
Those of you already in the industry, what should I do to better myself for a position in equity research post-grad? Is there hope for non-target schools?

I was planning to do the CPA if I don't manage to break into the finance industry. I have all the PEP courses completed. I have done some research on how to obtain the CPA. Yet I am still a bit confused from their website. From what I understand it's 6 modules. Core 1- 2, ,capstone 1-2, electives 1 - 2. Then one final exam to receive the designation?
