I have a future plan to get into business relating to Portfolio management . I ve learnt that CFA is the best course for this line . I do not have much time . So i was planning to clear CFA Level 1 exam and get into a corporate Finance Company and then continue with my CFA . I needed to know whether CFA level 1 has so much of a value that we can get a decent job in a Corporate Finance Company ??? Are CFA level 1 students required ? or its only after clearing all the 3 Levels that we can expect a decent job in Finance Companies ???

I think all three levels are required for it to add value to you if you already are a CA. if you are looking at specific industry such as fixed income, I'd recommend you take up short courses for professionals by prepmentor.com. it helps in talking like a pro in your interviews to get a foot in the door.
