MBA or CFA - Which type?
I have been in a job for 7-8 years in Corporate taxation in Big 4 and see no growth and passion. Now I want to transit to a new career line, my best step seems to be to do an MBA. What should be the best approach? Which kind of MBA? Is it realistic to do an MBA in India or can we dream abroad as well.
Alternatively I can start with CFA?
If you can internally move to the deal making group within EY, that's the best break you will get. If they require something, a CFA level 1&2 is a relatively quick fix with your job intact. Assuming you are good with CA stuff, it will be a breeze for you to clear CFA 2.
MBA: Post the course, you might have to start afresh, campus placements are a hit and a miss, too much chaos; your batch will be 6-8yo younger to you in India. And MBA isn't a sureshot guarantee of a finance career, esp in 2024 where jobs are hard to get.
Excellent answer.
What is a deal making group, per se? You mean M&A or deals advisory?
