Big 4 cpa here trying to break into ER. Unfortunately not in a advisory/valuation group so I understand this is quite difficult. Just finished up a modeling course. Is my time better off spent networking and sharpening my modeling skills? Or should I put the time in and go the CFA route?

Bumping this
I think you're better building serious stock pitches and then networking with it. You need to show you're able to do the job and have good ideas.
Thanks for the response. I'd agree. Prob will build out my own reports and send them around when networking
Yep this is what I did, better time spent than working towards the CFA imo
Networking
Thanks.
Bumping this again. Want to see if any others have had success breaking in from accounting or other career paths and have advice
CFA. Ultimately either path will end with you being unemployed but at least with the CFA you get the letters added to your name.
