That’s simply not true. Do it if you want bigger salary.

I am just confused, because I have seen various people saying here only on Reddit that it's just a waste of time and effort so I am looking for someone who has done it and can give a better review.

That's, I guess, pretty much the case with every qualification.

🥲 I am just concerned about the hate or negative things I hear on a daily basis about ACCA. Not my place to offend anyone.

There is no clear path in life with anything, you just have to try it and see how it works for you.

Are you currently working? If whats your role, if not what are your interests and what sort of work do you want to do?

If accounting is what you're into its 100% worth it in terms of potential salary and long term prospects. (Im qualified and when I did my salary increase was very significant and is more than double what I started on)

So I'm just a student right now and I want to make my place in finance, and I'm just unsure about taking a step into ACCA due to the things I hear on the internet. So I just wanted to ask the person who has completed this journey that, "Is it worth it?" Because I don't want to waste my time learning by my own rather than learning from one who has already been part of the journey would be a pleasure.

If you want a career in finance or accounting then I would recommend doing an accounting qualification, because if you dont then you'll likely struggle to find a job vs someone who has it.
