Quote from grazia_s:
Executive MBAs are really only ego boosters anyway...most financial firms actually prefer to train you themselves and like if you have a CFA. Not sure the ROI on MBAs is even worth it.
CFA is a waste of time.
mother of hope for OPS/Back office employee....
Executive MBAs are always sponsored by employers, and you are absolutely right they are solely ego boosters...
Quote from LarryS:
not from the average paychecks they make....$750k avg after 10 years work experience....I think it would be considerably lower if they were all back office and ops employees...
regardless of what you come up with next, they dont make the $750k because they have the CFA...
Quote from ivymba:
it says its P/T for experienced Asian Executives, not sure how many 40 year olds would go for this over an Executive MBA...
probably not many, since it looks like there is a Kellogg-HKUST EMBA.

Everything always looks great in a brochure but in reality HK is a very polluted place. Consider yourself very lucky if you see the sun and clear sky once a month.

I agree, but it still looks pretty good over here. It does not seem like it is in the city of HK itself. I dont see too many skyscrapers in these pix..

CFA is a joke, and if it wasnt for the recent surge in applications from India/China and failed daytraders in the US they would be going out of business soon, nobody in their right mind wants to study for these exams.
I feel sorry for people in emerging markets going into debt to sit in for these exams thinking it will somehow get them a late night earnings reporter job for Reuters in Bangalore...
Oops someone is pulling the plug on this scam already...
