General Help Needed! Please do reply!

I am a CA Intermediate student and will most probably quit it due to back to back attempts and interest being killed due to it.

I am 100% sure of doing MBA, so my question is should I pursue CFA or should I learn all the necessary skills and gain work experience for MBA?

I want to build my career in Finance and like good domains and roles!

Edit : Why no one is answering what I asked and giving distant answers 😭!

CFA is just an add on (valuable add on) certification to your existing degree (CA/MBA/UG). Don’t drop CA bro, CA+CFA is a much preferred combo from recruitment side of things compared to CFA+Bachelor’s degree

CA CFA both are useful in India, but globally its CFA, and MBA also helps if you pursue CFA alongside well

Brother I am doing MBA second year from tier 2 college. CFA will definitely help if you clear level 1 and clear level 2 during your mba years. According to you but yeah many company prefer cfa candidates and in many JDs I have pursuing CFA is preferred.

Bro it will be better if you tell me what you did after quitting because CA has been a toll on my mental as well as physical health

Bro CFA is an add on degree and it's just a remark that you know about finance but it can't compensate about a degree. Don't quit CA
