Sophie – great points. I’m stuck in this exact decision point right now. Took the Dec ’12 exam and didn’t pass, and was just offered admission to a b-school MBA program. Now weighing whether to retry the CFA or accept the MBA offer. Right now I’m working in the public sector, but my goal is to move into private sector finance. Not yet sure what field as I’m a newbie, but there are significant “barriers to entry” for someone trying to make that switch. Either the MBA or CFA seem to be my ticket towards my goal… but after reading your article, maybe the CFA makes more sense.

Your thoughts on a “new guy” trying to leave government work for the private sector.. how to get started, etc.? Anything is appreciated, and thanks again for the great article.
