FRM /CFA for physics major

[issacnewton]

Hello all

I am a physics lecturer in a junior college in mumbai. One of my friends ,from physics background, is working in Banglore in
stock/bonds related company. Since I am interested in going in finance sector, he was telling me about these exams,
FRM and CFA. I want to know which one would be suitable for somebody like me, coming from science background with statistics minor.
Which stream has more prospects from money point of view in future ?

Thanks
Issac newton

Hi.. I am also a physics student but a CA from India in corp finance.
While a science really boosts aptitutde, it is not a pre requisite. it depends on what stage you are entering the industry ie a fresher or senior e, age etc., A CFA+FRM is excellent.
