I have cleared my PCC in May'08. Big Four is not recruiting transfer cases like that of mine. So in the meanwhile I am planning to get a Degree. CFA(US) Level I in June'09, will it be difficult for CA PCC Student with all the heavy investment.? Or is it better to go for the safer option CS?

hey...e1 i hv cleared my pcc in may'08....so our final attempt comes 2 b may 10....i don think its wise 2 go 4 CFA in june 09.... articleship and final tuitions would keep u occupied...... moreover u would have to drop CFA after level 1 in this case to write your CA final in may 10...better would be 2 complete CA first and den look 4 options like CFA.....

Hi All,

Dont' join a course, just because its a fad as others a doing. Look all the international CFAs' cud not use their analytical skills to forecast the financial turmoil among others.

Like CA, CFA,USA & CFA India are good it their own ways. Both the CFAs require rigorous study & commitment. The knowledge pre-requisites are demanding & my personal opinion is other Indian courses like ICWAI,ICS,ICA dont really give enough grounding..

Actually the younger students are more intelligent than the course content of these degrees.

So pursue a course after analysing it in unbaised way.

Good Luck..
