Hello. I want to get some advice: what to choose between CFA and FRM and start preparing for the exam. What profession is most popular among the CFA and FRM candidates? What is easier: to get a job if I have a basic knowledge in the risk management and passed FRM Level 1 or in corporate finance and pased Level 1 CFA? I`m interested in both directions, and I want to learn about what exam is more demanded. Thank you for your answers.
Most people ( read all) who work in risk management have very decent quantitative backgrounds , so unless you have at least a masters in math/stat I think FRM is not a good choice. Also most FRM people I met did it because of the curriculum and the knowledge, not because of the prestige as it carries not much weight.
Thank you for your answer. I don’t carry about prestige, my calm is knowledge)! I have math, probability, stats, background, and I’m learning data mining now. But I want to know which profession is most common for candidates (CFA/FRM) and I want to know which exam gives more chances for career, which specialists more necessary for employers?

What’s an FRM again? Sounds like free roaming martian

I’d like to think I’ve been to a lot of events and done my fair share of networking but I’ve never met anyone with an FRM.
