hey priyanka ... your query is very subjective .. ca and cfa are altogether different fields of study .. while ca masters u towards accountancy , cfa equips you with analytical skills .. the industries are also different... so its your call .. which line u wanna pursue .. as a ca u have an heirarchy level from associate to partner/ manager while cfa will take u to the level of senior analyst...so ur interests and priorities should decide wat u wanna do .. now coming to another point .. as i read in ur profile ur ca finals are due in nov 10 .. according to that december would be the best time for u to enroll in cfa if u plan too ... aim for level 2 in june 10 ... final in nov 10 and then level 3 in june 11 ... it means u have a rigorious study session lying ahead (considering these r two differnet fields of study).. so i wud advice u to judge your pressure handling capacity ..... if u wanna make a mark as ca , i wud advise u to complete it and go for australian cpa (mra with australia link in icai.org)....this wud give a gr8 boost to ur career and open international avenues for you to explore ... as far as venue for cfa exam dec 2009 is concerned , its not finalised yet .. but seeing that it is being held in mumbai this season .. u can assume it will be held in mumbai next season too ... if u have any more queries .. plz clarify

i have been a derivative trader in international market for two years and such industries pursuade u to do cfa wch is entirely different from that of a ca ....as a cfa u will get entries into consulting companies like mc kinsey , kpos , investment banks and trading companies ... as a ca u will get into practice , audit firms , banks (as a manager ) or industries as a finance manager or chief accountant.
