Answering Top 5 Equity Research Questions | Salary Reality, AI, CMT & Career Switch

Equity Research salary, CFA vs MBA, career switch, CMT & AI jobs —
answering YOUR most asked questions about becoming an Equity Research
Analyst in India. Honest answers, no sugarcoating.

I read through hundreds of comments on my equity research videos and kept
stopping myself from replying — because some of these questions about
equity research analyst salary in India, how to break into equity research,
CMT certification, and whether AI will replace equity research jobs
deserve more than a one line answer.

So I picked the 5 most common unanswered questions — from people with
engineering backgrounds, AML experience, tech backgrounds with 7-8 years
of experience — all asking whether they can still become an equity research
analyst in India in 2026.

If you have been wondering whether MBA is mandatory for equity research,
what entry level equity research analyst salary actually looks like in India,
whether BCom plus CFA is enough to get hired, or how AI is impacting
equity research roles — this video gives you honest, no-sugarcoating answers.
