Hello Bablu,

Financial analysts look into money-related data about products, industries or regions, and use this data to create financial forecasts and assess the potential risks of investment decisions. As a financial analyst, it's important to have a good understanding of investment-affecting trends, including regional, political and economic trends. Your job duties may include preparing reports, developing financial strategies and advising investment sales agents.

Education

A financial analyst needs a minimum of a bachelor's degree — preferably in a finance-related major, such as accounting, statistics, or economics. Analysts who want to enjoy greater opportunities for jobs and salaries might consider pursuing a master's degree in finance or a Master's of Business Administration (MBA). Advanced education makes these professionals more appealing to potential employers.

Experience

Many financial analysts find employment as soon as they graduate from an MBA or CFA program. According to Bloomberg, about 16 percent of managing directors at banks hold MBA degrees , while only 7 percent have CFA designations. The right educational path will depend on the job you intend to pursue.

However, you shouldn't need any experience outside of your education. As you gain traction in the industry, you'll enjoy increased salary potential, and you might get the chance to move up the corporate ladder, whether you have your eye on a coveted consultancy position or the C-suite.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!!
