CFA and MSF which one is valued more in China's IB industry

爱西斯

I m considering the following two options
MSA+CFA level 2 hopefully , I can go top20 MSA pogrom I mean overall ranking
MSF + CFA i guess I can go grad school of U Rochester , MIT is unobtainable

If I can't get a job in US I have to seek a career in China
Which combination is better?
I double majored in fin and acctg for undergrad

你未来打算做什么工作呢？是会计工作还是金融工作？

我觉得如果打算在美国就业，就是会计路线；如果回中国，还是金融吧。

Both useless..unless you have TOP MSF(MIT,maybe WUSTL) or CFA 3
Other university's program..I won't say 0% but won't be higher than 10% to get an interview
If you want to go to IB
1 For TOP university no matter Acct or FIn
2 Relative experience
3 Ready to and can  burn yourself (if you looks so weak, they won't let you in....it's true..i am not kidding)

Want to stay in states, but it's. Not totally depends on me.
So I m struggling. If I can't stay i need a back up. Big 4 china. Is. Not a good choice.

To antti

I m a female so i m not as strong as male
Is notre dame top? USC UVA? Which one is bigger name?

oh...that's a different case..so you are not interested in speardsheet workers...
research position is mainly for PHDs in Math or finance or stat
Big name? If you want to be back to china...I would suggest UVA and USC..UND is good but not famous in china...
Anyway Operation position in IB is good for ACCT students. But the pay is not that high compared to IBD Analyst...

a little more than 5 figures means 6 figures or 7 figures.....

爱西斯
