Lot of candidates here seem to be aggregating designations after designations. CFA, CAIA, CPA, FRM, PRM etc.
Are we in times of designation inflation. In countries like India, it was reasonably required of to have an undergrad and masters to get into good roles in the past. This did change over time. A friend that was heading a large activist fund in Asia once remarked that people seem to love aggregating degrees. But to a large extent we agreed that it was required in Emerging markets as education is a way to improve quality of life.
But I am surprised that lot of members here have multiple “designations” or aim to get more.
Why is that so?
Full disclosure : BS (Mech Engg), MBA (from India), MS (Finmath from US).
