MBA Finance

The biggest debate keeps hindering around 2 gigantic names, CFA or MBA? A million dollar question indeed.

Masters in Business Administration-Finance, where students are introduced to various areas of business like accounting, marketing, human resources, operations management, and majorly to finance. The career path after MBA depends on a lot of factors, including your area of interest, previous work experience and business acumen of a specific domain. What you learn from an MBA is a broad understanding of how all the different bits and pieces fit together, so you can talk to all the key managers and operators and understand what they are saying. It proffers you the skills to be able to strategize and harness all the resources accessible to you to achieve your goal.

These are the advantages of MBA in finance over CFA. But with everything, there are some demerits. You really don't get the full application out of an MBA programme unless you go into it with five to seven years of work experience. So, to find a well-paying job, you need experience as MBA is not very much industry oriented.
