<li>FSA- there are only 18k actuaries in the US- not FSA but just actuaries in general- the expected job growth rate is 24% . There is like 1.3m accountants. Out of those clearly more have CPA designation that those that have FSA designation. Also to obtain FSA it is a longer process than the other two . Just on those factors i would deem FSA more valuable to employers. Also actuaries are sought after for top management positions , if you want a job like CEO one day being an FSA would be a big plus. You have lots of management options with FSA designation. Also, based on what i looked regarding the exams, couldnt an FSA quite easily obtain CFA without excessive effort?</li>
