    If you are employed to enhance the clout, CFA is good and respected in the finance sector.
    Thanks
    If you can complete CFA that will be a good achievement but mostly it helps to be a financial analyst. Honestly, it seems a damn hard exam nevertheless it vary with person to person but make sure to have a definite career path in the sense what is your end goal.

    on the other hand in Sri Lanka, if you are looking to migrate then that Msc will be value added if not i dont think we have many of opportunities in that area apart from Moody analytics. Since you have had done Statistics and Maths how about moving towards Data analytics or Data science field?

    In the begging, I was thinking about data science. But I am more passionate about business-related areas somehow. Cause I want to start my own business one day.

    Doing an MBA is not an option for me cause they are over half a million rupees. and government MBAs like UoC ask at least 3 years of experience for non-business related graduates.

    CFA might cost you more than half a million mchng
    most of are going through the 1st stage from the first attempt but struggling from the 2nd stage and 3rd stage,
    even in the 1st stage there are eight or ten subjects for you to go through for 240 MCQ questions with only three answers

    first stage ekatath will cost you around 200k ( Exam fee + registration )
    if you fail, you will loose around 120-130K

    CFA is on the top 10 toughest exams in the world.

    Age is not a problem if you have a strong willingness to do so , start CIMA that will be ideal for you.
