I am leaning towards financial analyst, so should I still get a CPA or CFA and see if I have been trying and I didn’t pass so it was really defeating for me

CFA is more for asset management / ER.
CPA is more broad, anything corporate/ back/ middle office.
Also corporate strategy as well

If you REALLY want to make bank and are a diligent, get both credentials. Keep in mind that CFA will take at minimum three years because level 2 and level 3 are only offered once a year. (Unless it’s changed)

G2K!

I love the enthusiasm, they are both great designations to have. If you want to work in Finance CFA is what you should aim. I do have to warn you that CFA is much harder designation to obtain than CPA. Good luck.

I'm a third year plaintiff's employment law attorney and I'm looking to move to defense, preferably still in employment law. I received an offer from a midsize firm that primarily focuses on PI with little-to-no employment law practice, so I'll have a bit of a learning curve. Offer is $90k, billable hours of 2100. Is this reasonable? I'm dead-set on leaving my current job, and this would be a $20k pay increase - which makes me believe I'm leaning towards taking it for those reasons only.
