THANKS FOR HAVING ME ON KENJI!!! It was great to talk with you.

As an MBA who is currently doing my CFA, the CFA is 5x more financial analysis. There is some crossover but my opinion is that the CFA provides actual financial skills where an MBA provides more business plan/strategic planning. Hope this helps. PS CFA is CHALLENGING!
