21 August 2015 I see the difficulty the other way round. It depends upon your strength and weakness. Yes, they say that CFA is difficult and more time consuming than CPA, but I personally like CFA and also pursuing the same, Cleared Level 1 also.

Both the course are vast and equipped with lots of good knowledge and career advancement. Again as per my previous comment if you want to shape your career in Investment banking (say Equity research, M&A, Share Market, Portfolio Manager) then you should opt for CFA and CPA is more about Taxation, accounting, Auditing, and other..

At present and as per my analysis CFA is more preferred (More job opportunities and good Salary Packages) in India than CPA.

Regarding CPA classes- You should join it as it is way different than our CA. Becker classes in USA would be good I think.
