hey just wondering if any of you have a CFA or have thought of getting one, I'm writing my level I in June and was wondering what others think of this designation, thanks
I have one. These days, I never give it a thought. At some firms, it's a box they make you check. Ours supports it, and it was a nice signal to send when I was interviewing out of business school. That's about it. Worth having, but it will be more productive to get a good MBA-- albeit at a greater cost in time and money.
I started to study and frankly found the material incredibly deadly, rote and boring. I mean, come on, manually (or via calculator) moving cashflows backwards and forwards ad nauseum. For all the respect it seems to have, the CFA seems as much a commercial scam as a professional designation.
My point of view is that skills are easy to learn while thinking is not. That said, if it can help you get to a place where you can learn to think, it is worth doing.
