Passing level I does not do anything for you other than implying to a prospective employer your commitment to passing all three levels. Ultimatley to unlock career opportunities you need to get the designation. In investment banking, research, and in some corporate finance circles you will need either an MBA, a CFA Designation or both to get promoted above the analyst level in most cases.
