16 January 2011 Hi, I have completed C.A. and am presently preparing for C.F.A. (Int.) Level2 Exam. I have 3 years of good article-ship experience and no post qualification experience.

I am planning for MBA from some reputed B school.

But I am really confused as to "Is it worth for Me to go for MBA at this stage taking into consideration the opportunity cost as well as the work experience sacrificed during the two years or is it better if I take up some suitable job ???? (because after the two yrs MBA I'll still be treated as a fresher as against my friends who'd have gained two yrs of Work-Ex)???"

Also all good B-schools with 1yr program require couple of yrs work-ex. I think it wud be diff. for me to do it 2 yrs l8r once I start working.

Please Advice.

Also pl suggest the B-schools I should consider.

17 January 2011 Hi vinay,

my only advice to u is that instead of pursuing mba, u shud focus on acquiring some work ex in the investment field. this is bcoz u r aiming for CFA which specializes the candidate in investment decisions. also a CFA with a 2 yr work ex has a lot better prospects of landing in a gud job rather than a fresher CFA.

gud luck !!
