Author	Topic: MBA + CFA
bart @2017-12-03 14:36:16	Hi guys! I'm not sure wheter tis is a right place to enquire. I'm currently applying job + HB1 visa. I have 13 yrs experience in banking (mostly credit). My 1st degree is in Accounting and I got my MBA recently (both degrees are from UK). The questions here is, realising both degrees might not be recognised should I pursue CFA? My friend suggested me to start with CMA 1st then CFA after I got a job in a bank in US. I do hope I can work in a bank again or even Investment Bank which I have no experience at all

I am sure your MBA will always be recognised, most probably as a high level indicator of capability, broad knowledge, and ambition. CFA is certainly a highly focussed syllabus fro investment professionals and certainly, with the surge in investment banking growth, big banks are looking fro bankers. MBA + CFA could make you quite a suitable candidate.

I passed! I did not get a chance to tell you before the exam - but your site was excellent. I will definitely take it next year for Level II.
