Why It’s Useless to Search For CFA Salary Data (And How We Can Help!)

Yup absolutely @Dan. Was trying to see the amount of data I could collect and adjusted for PPP.

@AjFinance, I’m not sure though. I kinda like not being put in a box, and CFA, like MBA, gives you many career routes to explore with additional flexibility. The downside I suppose is some say it’s not essential.

Hey @WesMantooth‌ – this was a little frustrating as I had insufficient data (since 300H readers are global) to have statistically significant conclusions. 

@Sophie, this is an insightful piece, and I never thought about it this way before. Thanks a lot! I’ve entered my data, hopefully you have enough data to have a statistically significant analysis to share! 🙂

Thanks for your kind words @Maroon5. Just trying to help here as I got quite a few queries on this.

Do spread the word and share this article with your friends, and hopefully I have enough data to have a stab at this perplexing question.

@Sophie Great post as always 🙂 I sometimes wonder if it is better that the profession has a defined career path/progression or is it better the way CFA is?

@Sophie @Zee The post kind of got me thinking on those areas. But having said that, I also value flexibility. And I guess there are a lot of organisations that offer accounting designations across the world. But there aren’t any direct competitors for the CFA institute.

I think it’s relevant to get into account the cost of living for each country. e.g. 20k USD a year in Colombia means a lot more than 20k in the US.

Hey,
Any updates from the data collected above? Just curious!
