I am a CPA and MBA with overall eighteen years of experience; eight years as a controller in manufacturing companies and making $150K plus 25% bonus. I am 43 and feeling bored with my role. I am almost up to my ceiling as far as my income. I am thinking of taking CFA exam. My question is, once I pass all three levels what kind of job and salary I should expect. Can I reach $300K after five years? Can CFA will lead me to a CFO position? Only some serious suggestions please. Thanks
