What value does CFA add if you’re on the technology and/or Risk Management side of finance? Specifically unsecured lending.

FWIW, I already have an MBA. I’m just contemplating the CFA to boost my resume.

Depends what you want to do. For credit analysis type risk roles, def go for the CFA. For more technical type risk roles, go for FRM. I’m a Risk Mgmt recruiter in NYC, happy to chat more

None. Cybersecurity and FRM is probably more relevant.

Worthless.
Isn’t there a certified risk manager?

Agreed - CFA usually is for buy side asset managers.

Not a lot if you are mid career.
Honestly know a few people who stopped paying their dues and dropped it after a while.

Cfa frm Caia PRM these are the designations

If you’d like to get out of risk management into a more investing or client role then absolutely

Hmm. I don't think it will give you any advantage. What's your plan after getting a CFA?

Cycle continues with next black/minority team member.

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties. I manage Youtube channels and do all strategy, planning, talent management, rework content for socials, reporting, graphic design, + a bunch of other stuff.

TIA!!
