Both fields are kind of different. They serve different purposes. You can choose on the basis of your long-term career goals. 

CFA is all about finance, investment & portfolio. It requires 3 years to cover and is good for you if you are seeking globally recognised credentials. It leads to quicker salary progressions for young people.

Actuarial Science revolves mainly around math-heavy concepts, stats, risk modeling, mainly meant for people working in insurance/consulting. It takes around 10 - 15 years of exp. to become proficient in this field.

Yes, You can get a job abroad after completing finance-related courses but the salary and position will depend on the course that you have studied like after globally recognised qualifications such as CFA, ACCA, CPA and MBA you can get jobs in multinational companies (MNCs) easily but after doing Diploma in finance, you can get jobs with less salary.

Hope this helps!
