Any CFAs here?
I am planning to start CFA prep in a couple of months.
I have a B.Tech in Electrical and currently working as ERP Consultant (2+ yoe).
I just want to get into Finance - is it worth investing time and money in CFA? Or are there any alternatives?

Getting a proper MBA from a good business school would be better. I don't think CFA carries as much value without a relevant degree

Partially Echoing Manager 1, CFA + MBA in finance from a top notch B-School will be a killer combo. Had you appeared for L1/2 during your B.Tech, I’d have told you otherwise.
