timotimo, I think your insight is not well informed. I work in investment management for a major institutional investor/pension plan and the CFA charter is a gold standard of excellence to everyone here.

As the others here said, EVERYONE in the business knows what it is and how tough it is to get. It is held in much higher esteem than an MBA, even from a top-tier university.

Way more people at work asked me how my exam went last weekend than have asked about my new baby boy born days before the exam.
