ikenna44: Lol, I believe you are a learner. CFA is the holy grail of high finance. ACCA is ACA CPA in every country for accountants, that is a step lower than finance. Get your facts right buddy. 6 Likes |

I wonder who always comes up with these qualifications and makes them d criteria. Today, they will say it is ICAN. People will start running from pillar to post. Tomorrow they will say it is ACCA. They will leave ICAN and start pursuing ACCA. Now it is CFA. The rat race has begun. Before some people finish getting d qualification, another one will come. They will now say CFA is obsolete 6 Likes |

mysticgal: Hey, what do you wanna do, investment management, investment banking, asset management? Your background is really good for M&A type of work, then transition gradually to the buyside, say private equity or VC. The CFA is good for the above plan, it will also help you make the move to finance (M&A). Corporate Lawyers really do well in Investment Banking. 4 Likes |

ikenna44: Within financial services, He might be right, being a CFA charter-holder is a big deal. It is far more common now than over a decade ago when I started out in the industry, but it is still very highly respected, and boosts you earning potential compared to ACCA. 2 Likes |

mysticgal: When you register with CFA, you get a study material from them, these materials are very bulky and generally considered a waste of time because of its depth. These materials could go up to 3000 pages. People prefer to buy external study packs that summarize the CFAI material. That’s where Schweser comes in. You may have a situation where you think Schweser didn’t do a good job explaining a topic or a concept, that’s when you go to the CFA material for a better grasp of the topic. You gerrit now? 6 Likes |

CFA has become the foremost finance certification in the world. ACCA can't lace its shoes. But the exam tough no be small and it is quite expensive. If you have the brain , time and finance, go all out for it. Should you pass the 3stages successfully, you'd become very desirable for top finance jobs ( Multinational equity companies consulting coys, investment banks & tech companies). It is worth every penny & time you expend on it. 3 Likes |
