  • Certified Financial Planner (CFP): For those interested in a career in financial planning with international recognition, CFP could be a good bet. We have just launched our new CFP section, a mega guide on the best online CFP courses out there, and our complimentary CFP study planner for those preparing for July or November exams in the US.
  • CFA exemptions and ESG: Being a CFA charterholder does give you quite a bit of perks when it comes to other professional designations or graduate courses. Meanwhile, we also take a look at the day in the life of an ESG (sustainable investing) analyst.
  • IB vs PE vs Corporate Finance: This week, we look at the differences between investment banking, private equity and corporate finance careers. The skillsets are highly transferable between these sectors, but the nature and focus of work slightly differs.
