Moving from tech into ER

Hey WSO's. I have 8 years internet experience, mainly in digital media development and operational risk management. Am doing OK, but I am in the final year of my MBA majoring in finance and considering a move to ER specialising in internet/media/gaming. Just want to know what my chances are of cracking it moving laterally from industry into finance and what the starting salary would be/expected progression path. Worth doing the CFA? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Depends on which MBA.

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
