This is probably the first thing that pops in one\u2019s mind before taking up this exam- Is CFA worth it?<\/p>\n

Apart from the cost, it is actually the time and the effort it requires to become a CFA and that is why these questions come to mind \u2013 Should I really peruse it? Does it really pay off in the end?<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s find out.<\/p>\n

I researched a lot on Quora, Reddit, analyst form and many other platforms to gain an insight as to what other Charterholders have to say about pursuing CFA as a career option and to what extent has it helped them in their careers.<\/p>\n

And the result is just like any other thing, there is the good<\/em><\/strong> and there is the bad<\/em><\/strong>. So let\u2019s try and cover both the experiences and try to get a very clear picture on CFA as a career option, by the end of this article. I will also share my personal views on CFA and what I would recommend to the ones planning to take up CFA.<\/p>\n

THE GOOD!<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

First of all, going by the data and the statistics the good reviews outnumbered the bad reviews by a mile. So this clearly helps and gives the article a good start and for those, who are already half way in the course I can imagine how glad you must be after reading this, because I was in a similar spot not very long back.<\/p>\n

Just to give you a glimpse I\u2019m sharing some of those reviews from those platforms with you here:<\/p>\n
