Hi Khyati,
Doing a second LL. M. along with CFA is indeed a brave choice. The degree awarded by the CFA institute US is one of the most the toughest attainable degrees with only 38% o f the students who appear managing to clear level 1, 39% managing to clear level 2 and 46% managing to clear level 3. Also do you have 4 years relevant work experience? Because it is a mandatory requirement that CFA is Awarded on successful completion of 4 years of qualified work experience so please look into that first.

Guide-Level 14

Dear Darpan,
Let me clear you certain things:
(1) If you go MBA finance, you can become a financial analyst, investment banker, financial planner, equity analyst, quantitative analyst, risk manager, credit analyst and many more.(2) If you go for CFA (suppose you clear level 3 also), you will be specialised person to be the financial analyst or in some cases quant analyst.
I would advise you to go for MBA finance because it opens more opportunities as well. If you look at the profiles of big positions, they want MBA from tier 1 college. However, it would be excellent if you do MBA + CFA.
