I'm wondering how a CA (Chartered Accountant) from Canada trying to break into ibanking would be perceived.
Firstly, I'd like to say that even though both the CA and CPA are accounting designations, the CA training program and evaluation is in a league of its own. CPAs are viewed as a commodity for a reason.
It's fairly common here in Canada for a CA to transition into banking but I realize the CPA designation doesn't carry much weight in the US so we don't see much of the same.
Would I, as a CA, face that same kind of "prejudice"? Would a US recruiter see "Chartered Accountant" and just assume soul-less bean counter right away?
How about in the UK? or Asia? Most of the commonwealth has similar principles based accounting standards, so their accountants are of a different calibre too. But, again, am I hoping for too much?
