CFA Complete: What's Next?

[Pgiger]

Hi CFA Community,
Obtained my CFA and FRM designations within the last year. Over the past 3 years, I’ve been promoted 3 times (currently a Performance Analyst in a Top 10 firm). I’m interested in continuing to expand my skillset with something challenging that would be useful in the investment management side of our field. Toying with the idea of an MBA/Masters of Financial Engineering from a top program (if I’m lucky enough to get in). Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I’d focus on accumulating EXP. Get to Level 60.

Thanks for the recommendation but my paladin is already at the level cap.
In all seriousness, I understand that this might not be the right forum for the discussion. Sorry if it comes across as smug. I recall how hard it was to get through the CFA program. I do miss the challenge though, and it’s fun to be a resource in the workplace. I’m just looking for the most efficient way to continue to develop and help out our firm, clients, and society (aka become a bigger tool).
