The general path would be doing graduation in commerce and pursuing CFA. CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) is a course to train people in the investment sector. Most of the people start out as equity research analyst or financial analysts after doing CFA and some of them are able to climb the ladder to become portfolio managers. CFA constitutes of three levels. Each level requires around 6 months to one year depending on an individual's capabilities. The first level covers the basics. The second level is said to be the most important and the toughest. The third level goes into details of being a portfolio/investment manager. But it isn't the only option. The other well tested option is doing MBA in finance from reputed institutes like IIMs. The most wanted jobs in finance sectors are one in investment banks due to the hefty compensation. The path which many students follow is start to as an investment banker and then move to private equity or portfolio management.

Hi,
Supply chain professionals considering a certification face a bewildering array of options. There are multiple organisations and certifications from which to choose.
While acquiring a certification can have a significant effect on your career trajectory, it is a process that requires a considerable outlay of time and money. Door individuals in the early stages of their career, it can be difficult to make an informed choice. To help this decision easier, I'd suggest a set of certifications which are in fact worth pursuing. Whatever certification you choose, you should first make sure it is as widely recognised as possible.
The following are the three well known and reputable certifications:
The Centre Supply Chain Professional (CSCP) and certificate in production and inventory management (CPIM) offered by the Association of Operations Management (APICS)
The Certified Professional in Supply Management (CPSM) from the institute for supply management (ISM)
The SCPro from the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP)

There are many courses which you can pursue parallel to MBA Finance. Some are:
FRM (Financial Risk Manager): It is a quant heavy course if you have good quant skills and passion for risk management. This course is perfect for you and you can pursue it along with your MBA in Finance.
CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst): This will be a good option if you are interested in investment analysis and portfolio management side.
Apart from these two courses, there are many courses which are provided by various organisations like NISM, SEBI, etc.
You can also go for various MOOCs which are available online.
But, I will suggest that you focus more on your MBA and try to excel.
Good luck.
I hope this helps.

Of course, you can. There are certain things which you might have to keep in mind in case you plan to continue them both simultaneously. The Council of the Institute, under Regulation 65 of the Chartered Accountants Regulations, 1988 has permitted Articled Assistants to pursue, with prior permission of the ICAI, only one course concurrently with CA subject to the requirement that the schools being attended for such allowed courses do not overlap with the Principal's office hours.
Therefore, if you plan to go for a regular simultaneous course, be sure to have the classes of one the courses in the evening and the other in the morning. It will be an addition to your value and career prospects. There is no harm in it if you want to go for it. I hope this helps. Just don't let one of them affect adversely the other.

Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) is an internationally recognized course that ensures a surefire way to enter Investment banking. Once you become a Charter holder, you have access to the international career network of the CFA Institute and can actively find yourself a suitable job in another country. If you are already working in a global firm, CFA Charter can also act as a springboard for you to get global postings within your firm.
So, how shall you go about it?
Complete and clear all the exams and work towards the 48 months work experience criteria then apply for a CFA Charter.
Once you are a Charter holder, access the CFA Institute website career resource JobLine to track and apply for jobs abroad.
Alternatively, network with your local CFA Chapter members and look for postings abroad.
Subscribe to newsletters and job alerts published by job portals in other countries (e.g: SEEK.com for Australia/NZ or Gulftalent.com for UAE jobs).
Network and publicize your CFA charter on LinkedIn and other career networking websites.
Don't fail to mention the CFA Charter in your resume and use it as a keyword to get the right hits in regular job portals other than job line.
If you are already working in an MNC, you can negotiate for a global posting after qualifying.
Even if you do not have a CFA Charter, if you have at least cleared the exams, you should mention that in your resume as well.

Talking about career and job prospects in India after B.Com (Hons), it isn't having much of opportunities as there is so much of competition out there. So yes, it can be said that B.Com (Hons) is not enough for good career building. The exception is that you studied from SRCC or Hansraj that can get you placed with a package of 10 LPA or so.
Hence, it is advisable to go for post graduation or some professional qualification in order to build a career.
Talking about the job prospects abroad, it carries hardly any opportunities out there.
See, I agree that skills do matter but in order to show skills, it is essential to get a job or get an interview call which isn't easy with B.Com (Hons) degree nowadays as there are so many others with BBA and Master's degrees. And yes, companies prefer management graduates over normal graduates.
