skip, believe me I’ve seen that study many times. It makes me feel all warm and fuzzy, but as platt noted I’m talking about a top tier (generally meaning top 7) MBA. I’d rather have the CFA than an MBA from a program ranked 20 and below, but I’d trade my CFA for a Wharton/Chicago MBA in a heartbeat.
Also, as a sidenote, those you made the most (not surprisingly) have the CFA+MBA. Additionally, I’d bet that most money managers with a top 7 MBA are making a lot more than $200K after 10 years. They are likely making that in year 1 or 2 out of bschool.
as someone who has done an MBA, CFA, CAIA, PRM, i can tell you with great confidence that they do not help you make money in a credit crisis, lol.
Very good point. Hopefully they are keeping you employed though! Rohufish, as someone who has all those credentials, which do you find have added the most value for you from a knowledge stand point and from a compensation stand point?
MBA, anyday
Good to know. Thanks.

CFA is poor man’s MBA. CAIA is poor man’s CFA. PRM is poor man’s MFE. That’s already 3 redundant qualifications. You are either insecure or can’t get a job. Somehow I even doubt that you MBA is from any decent program.

SkipE99, Ok, let me sugar coat this, all the qualifications are impressive given the time commitment required, but someone is overcompensating for something. comp_sci_kid, karnelskiy bakalavr i magistr podoidet?
