11 December 2016 I will be a CA soon and I want to study further. CMA would enable me to skip the foundation exam and give level 2 directly since I am done with IPCC. It would also offer a wider employer choice as it would make all the MNCs, prospective employers whereas CFA would narrow down the scope, & make it a niche finance field . I want to make an informed decision with respect to payscales as well as opportunities abroad, before I join another course. Personally I am more interested in CFA but I don't want to make a hurried decision. Kindly advice me, which combination between CA + CFA / CA+ CMA would be better in terms of opportunities abroad and in terms of salary in India as well as abroad

11 December 2016 pay packet wise CFA would be a better choice. (Now that you are becoming CA very soon, in your case CA+CFA combination would be better than CA+CMA)
