CFA certification vs. MBA

[kkuo12887]

<p>

But if you want to become an associate for Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley or firms at that level, then there are only a few ways to get in - a premier MBA being one of the few ways. You certainly can’t simply pass the CFA exams and then just expect Goldman Sachs to call you up with a job offer. That’s not how it works at all. Not even close.

I know many unemployed and delusional individuals with sub 3.0 GPAs from non-top 30 undergrads that think passing the CFA = finance career.</p>
