CFA is a clearly more valuable credential. It's also much more work and money

If you are interested in risk management or risk and regulatory advisory, FRM would be preferable

Yep. FRM is more relevant. But FRM material is way less organized compared to CFA. And ppl know simply everyone passes FRM easily

Get both ✌️

Can CFA get someone into banking?

^lol... I don't understand why CFA is so popular. There are very few jobs requiring CFA. Big four are doing a lot of Risk stuff so I thought FRM might be more useful.

Pwc2, I have both too and agree on use but no regrets. I thoroughly enjoyed the journey

@EY2 well, I have to admit that it feels damn good to have those three-characters behind my name

Pwc2, you mean 6.

Lol, true, 6
