This kind of question is very common on the Internet, and more and more great gods are answering it. Home Jun collected and sorted out a batch of high-quality answers from Zhihu, Tianya, Renren and Douban and recommended them to everyone:
Let's start with a splash of praise:
"There are always people who think that many certificates are great gods ~, and sports cars don't run fast because there are many wheels ~ ~" (zhihu @ mystery)
Zhihu @ Keykey
"As a lawyer who has passed CPA and is taking CFA, I hope to answer this question immediately and I hope to be qualified to answer it in my lifetime.
But seeing the above answer, I want to come back and say a few words about my feelings.
The great god in my mind is the kind of person who makes unremitting efforts for his goal.
If you want to take the CPA exam, you must stick to it no matter how difficult it is, until you can print a short three-letter "CPA" on your business card.
Want to run a marathon, no matter how tired, keep exercising every day until you can run 42 kilometers.
If you want to lose weight, stick to eating only fruits and vegetables every day, no matter how hungry you are, until others envy your figure.
This kind of person described by the subject, since he has perseverance and can get four certificates, must also be a person who has goals and ideals in life and strives for them, and leads a wonderful and fulfilling life every day!
Of course, a sports car doesn't run fast because there are many wheels, but what makes a sports car a sports car is persistent running to the finish line. "

I have passed CFA and CPA, and now I am preparing for ACCA, but I don't have a girlfriend! Woof woof woof!
In fact, there are many people in these two certificates at the same time, depending on personal self-planning. There are even scholars and pure related parties who have many domestic qualification certificates, such as Jianyi, Zhu Hui, Thinking, Registered Equipment Supervision, Registered Construction Engineer, etc. It is not commendable that the threshold for registration of notes and exams is low and at the same time it is available. Of course, I did textual research on the party, but it didn't translate into actual interests. So it's really useless to me.
I am a research party, and my essential job is transportation management. So it brought me substantial benefits.

Master's degree, the exam +CPA has been won, and it is difficult to force CFA to take the second level this year!
Douban @ Chen Sansheng
A mature capital market requires employees to have good educational background, perfect knowledge system, good professional quality and good professional ethics. Therefore, a professional and mature capital market needs practitioners with qualifications such as CFA, CPA and ACCA.
The significance of the certificate to you is not that you can find a job with an annual salary of one million yuan with this certificate, but that it can cultivate your professional quality well, make you develop better in related fields, and realize yourself through hard work with an annual salary of one million yuan.
When you take the exam, many people may not recommend you to take it. These people are often not the holders of these certificates and have no ability to understand them. And the holder may not recommend you to take this certificate, because it is really not a tool to make you rich overnight.

There are two, and there is Dai. CFA is preparing, and ACCA is also preparing. After taking the ACCA exam, I will change two certificates. The goal is to collect seven books and print business cards.

One of my colleagues passed CFA, accounting, judicature and sponsorship exams. He is a bit dull, and he doesn't have a girlfriend in his thirties. Having worked with him on a project, I feel a little naive, just like someone who just graduated from college.
Netizen @ uneven chest
With CFA, CPA and justice, I am now in the fitness industry. ...
Zhihu @Benedict
I have to answer this question. From 2008 to 20 13, I worked hard to get into ACCA. During the period of 20 13-20 14, I took four HKICPA at the same time, and then took the CMA during the period of 20 13- 14, and passed the ACCA of Canadian CPA.
Maybe in the near future, I will add Certified Public Accountant (DE), Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CMA), Certified Public Accountant (BC), CGA, Certified Public Accountant (HK) and ACCA to my name. So what was the first experience?
The first reaction of others to know that you have so many certificates is: "You are too tired!"
Then the second one is "What are you doing after eating too much?" .
The second experience is to pay a lot of annual fees! Unless you find a good company to help you, the annual fee will be very expensive!
The third experience is that I don't know where to put these certificates. There are not so many photo frames. ...
The fourth lesson is: when looking for a job, you should make targeted choices: for example, when looking for American companies, you should put CPA, CMA and ACCA on your resume, while CPA, CGA and ACCA are the companies you want to find in Canada. CPA(HK) is purely soy sauce. This certificate is used for backup. In case you go to the Commonwealth to develop your career in the future, you can exchange it with hk cpa. This certificate is quite cost-effective. Otherwise, too many titles will suddenly be at a loss after the name. Do you think this man can still work when he is called in? Will it be arrogant? Will you leave after working for a while? At this time, your certificate begins to have a negative marginal effect. Therefore, the textual research should be targeted and not blindly take the exam. I'm completely suffering from Stockholm syndrome. By the way, I have an MBA ... ...
Thank you for so many compliments. Actually, it's not good to have so many certificates. I only put the proof of the place where I am looking for a job on my resume, and everything else is redundant, which will only lead to diminishing marginal benefits. However, one advantage of having more certificates is that, in addition to your global mobility, you will have to go to training institutions to teach accountants to earn extra money in the future, and you can take out your certificates at once, which can actually add points.

It means that eldest brother hasn't done anything else in recent 10 years, just researching.
Zhihu @ Young Abu
Personally, I think that none of the common financial certificates can help in time.
Although I have CFA, CPA, ACCA and FRM, I can't play their roles without a strong background. Just like CPA needs four years of work experience.
Therefore, textual research is more icing on the cake than giving timely help.
Many people who just understand the financial field will think that they can enter the investment bank after taking CFA, but it is understood that the academic background that investment banks like is MBA from famous schools.
Then, why do students like us or people who have just graduated have to take CFA and FRM certificates?
The main reasonable reasons are as follows:
1.CFA has always been regarded as the mainstream of financial certificate examination. What should I do to strengthen my financial knowledge without taking the exam?
2. If you want to study abroad to study finance in the future, you can enrich your financial vocabulary and financial foundation by taking exams first. Why not?
3. I want to be a researcher in an investment bank, fund company or asset management company (these are also places where CFA works)
Plenty of time, idle is idle. It will be good for you to pass the exam more or less.

In fact, these certificates are just a bluff on the business card. But when most people have it, if they don't, they will. Take CFA as an example. In North America, most people who do asset management and investment analysis are chartered by CFA. Therefore, CFA will not add points in the interview, but is a must for some departments to join the job.
As for the help to the industry, there is even less. Every company has its own investment management concept and template, and the theoretical knowledge of CFA can only make employees understand and be familiar with the company's own management faster. If you are not engaged in investment banking, securities, asset management, risk management and research, there is really no need to spend time on CFA.

There are also those who have passed cpa and lawyer qualification certificates. At that time, they were going to take cfa. Forget it. (Because it's enough)
Of course, life is good, and I really found a job with these two.
But! The key is to test how many relevant books he has read and absorbed them all.
This man is my uncle. Don't doubt the facts.
He knew everything I asked him in college. Our teacher gave a lecture for a week, but he couldn't understand it. He told me for two minutes, and I mastered it. I didn't read the book well for a semester. At the end of the term, he told me that 1 hour was popular, and I got a high score at the end of the term. It feels really awesome.
Forgot to mention the road to job hunting. With all your skills, you must be applying for a job, not working!

This feeling is that I have five A's, and I don't make public when I apply. I'll give the boss what he wants.

People should cultivate their core values and know how to foster strengths and avoid weaknesses. Philips does everything, and nothing can become a climate. Apple only makes smart terminals, and finally has an impact on the world.
A motor vehicle that can go on the road needs four wheels (sometimes three wheels are ok, but there are many restrictions on operation), but the performance of this vehicle depends not only on tires, but also on the engine gearbox and chassis, as well as on the engine development level of a manufacturer, the calibration technology of gearbox, the adjustment of chassis and the overall coupling. Local tyrants are willing to buy m3 and nsx at a high price, not because they have an extra spare tire than other cars (in fact, they don't have a spare tire either).
I think finance, finance and law are all industries with extremely rich connotations (in fact, all industries are), and its profound connotation and logic are completely worth spending a lot of time and energy, even your life. How to deepen and accumulate is a systematic project with great connotation, but one thing is worthy of recognition. This accumulation is not obtained by obtaining one or two professional qualifications, or even by accumulating specific accounting or legal skills. In fact, it is the same as building a car. In fact, it is a truth.

Before I came here, I passed the exam and was a certified public accountant ................................................................................................................................................................
It is rare to pass the four certificates, but it is not rare to pass these two certificates.
Everyone I know has passed CPA, CFA, ACCA and SITE.
Zhihu @ Hu Tutu
When I just graduated, I always admired my predecessors with work experience and CPA. I have always felt that if one day I am a certified public accountant, I will be very powerful and will not worry about finding a job. At that time, CPA was more like a goal for me, which gave me a sense of security.
Seven years have passed, and it's already CICPA, CICPA and CMA. It sounds scary, but my sense of security is not much stronger than that of seven years ago. On the contrary, as I get older, I feel more nervous and worried about the future. I have entered the threshold of 30, but I still have a lot of things to do, and I will still feel uneasy about the future.
In fact, I have long understood that certificates are just icing on the cake, and the achievements of security and career development are not obtained by these certificates. What is more important is to improve practical ability and exercise inner self-cultivation. I still have a long way to go.
