What's is CFA's Rivalry?

“Top 20 MBA, FRM, or CPA… or non-CFA’ers who blaze their own trail”?

The CA in Canada is only highly respected by people who doesn’t know finance or are not in the investment field. Cause eveyrone knows the CA’s work experience is going to firms and ticking and tie or counting inventories; the first 2 years that is.
having the CSC is probably better than having the CA. HAHA

As someone who wors in industry as an accountant id have to strongly disagree. The CA is a great designation to have, in fact if you look at it without bias it is probably the closest competitor to the CFA there is. However they are completely different yet they mutually rinforce each other. For myself financial accounting and auditing is mind numbly boring, managerial accounting which is more where my skills lay is better but for me this work is only o pay the bills while I work on CFA and look for something better. I missed out on recruiting season the past fall and since I need an articling position to even get into CASB im not even going to bother with the designation because I can get a CGA and CPA in just another year and I HATE financial accounting.

Another ignorant comment from someone with no clue about the careers available to CAs.

Yet another person who making ignorant comment, cause I am a CA myself loser!
 
Lets all take a deep breath. Either that or move this crap to a Yahoo board where it belongs.
 
and dont’ even try to compare the CKE, SOA or UFE to the CFA Level exams.
CKE, required like 50 hours of studying, SOA isn’t anymore; the UFE, maybe like 100-200 hrs of studying MAX!. The finance in all 3 sections is a joke! so for anyone who compares the two designation is bascially saying oranges are better than apples.
 
I didn’t know they gave CA designations out to 6 year olds. Well, I have to admit, I am impressed. Good work kiddo!

you finally realize that the CA designation is nothing. thanks for agreeing.
and next time, try to give a better come back than just saying someone is 6. you didn’t get all that education to go back and use a grade school joke. lame.
 
Cretin - even your fellow Level 1 candidates can’t stand you. Then again, after putting up with garbage posts for two years, who could blame them. So you can continue pouring garbage onto this wall but I am off to bed, Cretin.

if you get one of those, you’re just a CA dropout, or have no career goals, speaking on behalf of my business school that consistently get the highest grades on the CA exams and has the highest acceptance rate in Canada, so i grew up with a lot of accountant wannabes.
if you want to be an accountant and just an accountant, that sucks. period. at least with a CA you can easily switch to finance and maybe even reach CFO one day. CGAs and CMAs are doomed to be H&R Block tax assistants and middle management, respectively.
 
Thanks for the information, Matt, appreciate it. There is no way in hell this engineer is ever going to become an accountant, but I feel that the accounting knowledge acquired through CFA isn’t enough, I crave more.
