Are we talking difficulty or prestige here? Still think the CFA designation pisses on having any kind of masters degrees (in terms of prestige). When I meet people with master’s degree (I have one myself btw), I’m like, yeah whatever, you stayed in school for another year or two like half the people in this office did and took some classes that were a bit more challenging than undergrad, and maybe spent a summer writing some thesis that was nothing ground breaking. I meet someone who has done CFA while working full time and has a family maybe, I think wow, really impressive. It’s not so much that I’m impressed with what they know, it’s the fact that they’ve showed so much commitment. I’m studying for level I and work full time and have kids, this is more challenging than completing any degree I’ve ever done. And I’m only on level 1 !!!
Maybe I just did shit degrees.
Ph. D., different story, I’m still more impressed with that than CFA.
