So, I have an offer with IBM as a Financial Analyst and one with CME Group as an Analyst in their Financial Projects and Controls division. Both offer similar pay/benefits, but what I am wondering is which could help me the most in the long run?
I'd like to obtain my CFA within a year or so, and work on my MBA with in a few years. As for a career, I'd like to eventually become a CFO of a corporation (gotta aim high!) or work with either a hedge fund or venture capital firm.
So does anyone see an obvious benefit of one position over the other? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! If you need more information, just ask and I will provide.
CFA within one year or so? Does that mean you cleared the level 2 exam? Why are you doing CFA and MBA both?
Yea...
I understood CFA + MBA when: Doing ER and wanting an MBA to move into Upper management at an industry you were covering
I should say start the CFA process, take the first level exam within a year or so.
As for the CFA and MBA, I was told that if you want to work in a hedge fund, you're going to need it (The CFA). But because I am not certain I want to go the hedge fund route or stay it, I figured the MBA would be needed for management.
When you see the word "Controls" in your title or group name, run for your life. IBM all the way.
Just curious, but why is that?
Sound like fun?
