CFA is easier with more bang for buck and time. However, if you can go to a top tiered Bschool, an MBA is nice. I am a CFP. I have an MBA from a smaller school and would rather have a CFA. I might still do it. I am doing well now but have had some trying years. It would really be cool if they combined a CFA with a Masters. I know they do that with CFP and CPA (or the education portion anyway). BTW-- I lot of corporations factor a CFA designation into making officer and high level management decisions. They REALLY respect it. Good Luck!

If you had to pick one, I'd go with the CFA. But, if you can do both, then do both. My very first finance professor at NYU had a quote: A person with a graduate degree in finance might not know any finance. But, a CFA indicates that you (or anybody else) know, at least, some finance. And this guy is a total genius. He made so much money in the NYSE as a market maker/specialist that he retired after one year of working with them.
