Identify your objectives first.
CIMA and CFA lead to two entirely different fields. First decide which sector you want to work in...in industry CIMA would help you but if you want to take up a career in financial services then go for CFA. Donât waste years pursuing a career which you do not like at the first place. You are 21 but that does not mean you have time to play with your career. Itâs a very sensitive issue.
I kicked my years of exp in industry, consecutively cancelled my contracts with EY and then KPMG in a GCC country and finally landed a job I was dreaming about. You won't be this lucky...so think before taking the plunge.
And as far as CFA is concerned, mind it, its tough. My ACCA/CIA did not help that much in studying even for level 1.
Take a decision and then stick to it.
So bro think a lot before deciding.
