目标S&O consulting，是否值得考CFA

nolanhym

Hi

我现在即将本科经济学毕业，接下来会读一个mgt的master，目标是之后做stra或者ope的咨询，tier1/2/3的咨询公司都愿意。

最近我在考虑是否需要考取CFA证书（或者偷懒一点过CFA1哈哈）？

目的：

1. 纯知识的累计 对自己做投资和更好理解客户的投资有一定帮助

2. CV booster, not sure if applicable for consulting as well?

3. 为career switch做铺垫，一旦要转金融（PE、FIN CONSG、EQUITY RESEARCH)有更多的机会？

大家觉得这三个目的可以满足么？或者值得我投入这部分时间么？or any 替代品？


tahnk you ：）

I think you should do it, if you have the capacity..
1, Don't take what you plan as what is gonna happen. After 3 years, you may lose interest in pure strategy consulting... and operation is boring as hell.
2, Quite some guys in strategy consulting end up in PE... it's a good career path..
3, Your education background.. Maybe you won't apply CFA in actually practice... but there is no bad to deepen your study in one domain... especially when you prepare yourself for consulting... Consulting is about everything and kind of fluffy...You can hardly specialize in something..

做EQUITY RESEARCH的话，CFA还有点用，做咨询的话，则用处不大
