	Hi Arif, Great answer. i have similar doubts in my mind. I am Gold Medalist in B.com and also in MBA and i am working as Business analyst in India's most reputed IT company. I have 3 years experience in Banking and Financial services IT products as Business analyst. I also intended to pursue CA. but it will take 5 years n i have to leave the job where i am earning 7.5 Lakh PA. Dear friends please let me know whether CFA will benifit in my career. I have registered for ICWAI also. But i am unable to justify that. Please share your views

hi rajesha

i believe its a wise decision from your perspective, given you are earning a handsome 7.5 lac pa and are in the field of business analyst.

CFA would help you primarily in corporate finance and equity research related line. if you have any interest in that field, you can surely go for CFA, it'll add value that you can use in future.

in my opinion, ca is not going to help that much as CA's are primarily seen to be experts in the field of accounts, tax and audit and most often are given work related to that ONLY. however, MBA's are seen as kind of versatiles who could be placed over CA's, depending on the institution of your MBA and of course your own capability. but barrring a handful exceptions, its is not the other way round.

hope it helped you.

good luck!!
