Considering you've got a master but the pay isnt too high arh... Im graduating next year in Finance degree and will be taking cfa1 this Dec, and is super lost right now...
Was thinking to continue to master but now im not so sure.....
May I ask where you finish your master? local?

Master in finance is useless. Unless u decide to go thru education line but need continue to phd.

Take cfa only if u really decide to walk finance industry path and work in invesment bank, analyst etc.

It's not useless per say. A TOP msc finance will land you more interviews for sure. That being said, you'll most likely be going overseas (though I recommend sg for networking purposes if you intend to work in malaysia/singapore). Most buy side firms has a minimum requirement of cfa level 1, and a msc finance would make you stand out among the rest of the candidate.

But to pay a bomb for it, some may not be able to afford. Keep in mind that an msc finance is only worth it if and only if you have an excellent track record since ur high school etc. It is not a magic certificate, a person who barely passes degree will not gain from having a msc finance (in fact he will not even be admitted into the school)

Have u study msc in finance before??? I can tell u in reality it does not worth anything anywhere. Unless its oxford/cambridge level.

As an employer, just bcoz u have msc will not made u stand out  even if amongst all the resume everyone have cfa1. If u follow the thread since the start of v1 as an example here, there are alot master holders but it did not bring any extra benefits that correspond to the cert.

I have a msc finance top 30 in the world, tho not oxbridge. Currently in sell side equity research, fresh without any internship. No cfa.

Sorry I didn't follow since v1, but those masters holders you're referring to, curious how many with first class honours and from top uni? Did they network their balls off? Hold overseas offer when looking for job?

I'm not saying a msc finance is going to work like a magic cert, but it adds value if you know how to use it. I might just be lucky, who knows.

I did my bachelor with a top 30 uni in the world as well, graduated with below average results, no internship and landed a forex front office job at a local bank.
funny thing is, I know of candidates with msc finance that got rejected and they went for risk management roles instead. 

Like I said, it is not a magic cert.

You know alot of people with Msc finance from where? Did you know if they got more interview than you?

I would say a majority got their msc finance certs from UK unis.

Not too sure about their experiences on landing interviews, but theoretically speaking I would say that it wouldn't be much of an obstacle compared to bachelor degree holders like me? I’m pretty sure landing one for you is a piece of cake haha

Interestingly, my views on going for further finance education changed a lot ever since I joined the workforce and I am more biased towards professional certifications now

It is a fair pay for fresh graduate in a mid tier accounting firm. Just focus on gaining experience first and the rewards will come later.
