Mohsin. Definitely nothing wrong with giving it a shot especially to level 1.Even if you do Level 1, it ll make you conceptually so strong that you ll be able to tackle other things in general Finance area plus it will enhance your resume appeal anyway. Also depends on your hunger to work for equity side of investment banking. If you have bachelors equivalent to that of a US bachelors degree you can go for it. I didnt realize it first but it cost about 80000 in Pakistan which seems alot. For someone like me in US its just 1000 bucks which is not a big deal. Go to cfainstitute.org and study in detail what it entails.
Look at my other posts where i ve discussed some of the material you could use for preparation.
I am not sure about job prospects of CFA in Pakistan.
My suggestion is to do a thorough research first before you step into it. Talk to someone already in profession. Good luck!
