    Hello Sir John and Mike,

    Have few general questions and wanted your opinion/ views on the same –

    1) I have 3 years of experience in tax with EY, is it possible as an affiliate to get into Risk or business advisory?
    2) Is there scope to get into investment banking as an ACCA Affiliate?
    3) Is it beneficial to pursue CFA in addition to completing ACCA?

    Thank you
    Aditya

    1. It depends on the prospective employer as to what experience they require in addition to being an ACCA affiliate.

    2. Yes certainly, but again it depends on the requirements of the particular employer.

    3. CFA is much more specialised. If you want to get into investment banking then it will be useful. For other jobs it is likely to be less useful.

    Also employers seem to require lot of work experience.

    Thank you Sir.
