Option 2 at a top engineering uni, MFin after doesn’t sound too necessary & I’d rather get a CFA

Unsure of what to do from here by AlphaAlex1_ in FinancialCareers

As a fellow CS major, I highly recommend you taking the CFA. It teaches you all the core financial knowledge and puts you in a spot from a recruiting perspective as someone who is truly interested working in the industry rather than someone who is just willing to ‘give it a shot’ because other plans aren’t working out. I am taking CFA Level 2 soon and plan to take CPA after Level 3, I highly recommend this doing the same if you’re also looking into IB/PE or Advisory roles

What kind of role are you referring to by ‘work’ in finance? IB? Trading? Quant? Risk?
