QUOTE(Mayomythical @ Oct 29 2009, 10:44 AM) TS: I've passed CFA Levels I & II, and I can personally say it's not too difficult if you do the studying, but only if you've done some finance work. If not, it may be greek to you at first, but you can pick it up as you go along. Don't know about Level III, planning to take next year  tan8: I think you can, but to be a CFA charterholder, you need four years professional experience in a relevant field (banking, finance etc), IIRC. Hi Can you advise me which should i take? ACCA?? CFA?? or MBA (Finance)?? i am currently practising as a company secretary. I hold Bachelor (Hons) Corporate Management, and ICSA professional qualification [Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators]. With 2 yrs working experiences.

QUOTE(Mayomythical @ Oct 29 2009, 11:20 AM) I think some of the posts above could help you make your decision. At the end of the day, it depends on where you want your career to go, in my opinion. DO you want to be a financial analyst? Or do you want to go into middle/senior management? For the former, CFA is a good starting place. Even for the latter, a CFA course would teach you the necessary skills (project budgeting, funding, accounting) to survive. I have no experience on doing an MBA< but I would think the course would be broader, with competitive analysis, game theory, man-management and things like that, which you would require to go up the management chain. My 10 sen's worth. Thanks a lot for your advice! Can i choose to study CFA now as i m not in the managerial line currently? i will only pursue in MBA once i get promoted to managerial line?? Would it be better??? If i were passed CFA, would i work in Investment Banking or any other line?

QUOTE(Mayomythical @ Oct 29 2009, 12:02 PM) You can do that. With CFA, you'd be more marketable, especially in the finance side. CFA Level I would definitely would help you with a career in investment banking, as it would give you a basic grounding of all the things you need to know. MBA without management/professional working experience may not be worth as much, IMHO. Thanks a lot bro! Did you mean that once i started Level 1, i can proceed to apply job career in investment banking and will be highly sought by them? Also in order to earn 4 yrs working experiences related to finance line??

QUOTE(simple.ology @ Oct 29 2009, 12:34 PM) other than CFA... if you guys are very keen into investment area, you might consider CMT (charted market technician) as well. It also contains 3 level of examinations.... yeah, only for those who really likes technical analysis !!!! As you can see, the research house nowadays also recruit people with this kind of knowledge, so it also quite recession proof.... but so far the people with CMT is definitely lesser if compare with CFA chartered holders.... Hi Where can take CMT?? Is it self-study programme?? Which is more marketable / recognised between CFA with CMT??? CMT is US programme or UK??? or local programme??

Hi everyone  I hold 2 degrees which are Bachelor Honours Degree Corporate Management and Professional Degree (ICSA). Would like to seek you all advices whether i should pursue further study in ACCA or CFA? As i noticed in lots of job posted ad (like investment line or financial analysis line) that lots of employers such as banks, MNC and etc are likely to hire those with holding ACCA qualification, whereas they are not even stating that they require those with CFA qualification. It tends to show that ACCA is more recognised than CFA in the job market. In the case of that, i m now really hesitating whether which one i should pursue further if I hope this may eventually be of value in repositioning me for a move into investment and financial industries. Can anyone advise me?? Really appreciate you all advice

QUOTE(willy_wonka @ Jan 29 2010, 11:00 AM) young and naive then. didn't want to spend a few years doing audit i.e. short-sighted. it was a struggle in the beginning not having done the acca/icaew but after sometime, i learned on the job and made up the bulk (not all) of that knowledge gap. no longer an issue for what i do today debbie, what's your professional background like? Hi Willy Thanks for your advice..Really appreciate it.... In the event that i m still young where i think i should continue to complete some papers lefted in ACCA. In future, only decide whether go for CFA or MBA sponsored by company (if any). Am i making the decision wisely?

actually...u are confusing now....if u study CFA, Level 1 and Level 2 are likely more focusing in accounts....thats y u should have very strong enough for your accounting knowledge basic....only Level 3 is likely more focusing in financial....Accounts is the basic of financial....should bear in mind on that....  u can refer to this earlier post where Topace has commented in details... am i correct Willy>>>?????

a person who without the knowledge on how financial statements to be created...then how he or she can analyse the financial of the company and do decision making..???? Put it like this, a finance people without any accounting background or experience may lose out in long run. Its bcos without accounting knowledge, analysis of financial datas will be quite difficult to digest. That is why CFA level 1 and level 2 is mostly accounting rather than finance. That is why there is no such thing as Bachelor in Finance in any university, you may have accounting & finance or finance management but never finance, the content is too much for any graduates. There is no such thing as choice when comes to learning, you may also learn both (after completing either one of course).
