how does a cfa “make” you money? you need to be sponsored by an employer to sit for it and you’re not paying for it anyway. the only reason you (potentially) need a cfa is equity research and some asset management (both of which are dying anyway).

if you want to make money in finance, be smart and get a front office job at a great firm. not a cfa.

you’ll make the most money doing shit you like and are good at, whatever it is

the major trend in asset management is toward passive investment. partly due to AI. this trend is bad for both AM and ER

er is also a loss leader that’s increasingly under regulator pressure in terms of how it’s paid for (google mifid)

i hope you’re under age 24. it doesn’t sound like you know what you want to be when you grow up or why

not sure why you’re telling me this but cool.

i’m saying that you’re coming at everything the wrong way imo. don’t ask “what pays the most?” as the first question. if you suck at that job you won’t make anything and probably won’t get it anyway.

you should first ask what you’re good at and what you like. then what careers make sense and then how you can best get there. not “cfa or jd what pays more?”

holy shit i feel like a guidance counselor.

Kind of weird choice, no?

If you want to work in asset management or investment research, get a CFA.

If you want to be a lawyer, get a JD.

Honestly not a lot of overlap between to two.

Neither.

CFA isn’t necessary to work in asset management. JD is required to go into law, but if it’s non t-14 JD, don’t bother. That also means you’re not smart enough to get hired by any reputable asset management firm, so a CFA is a waste too.
