Advice for CQF

[ankie]

Hello Everyone,

I work in the Interest Rates Valuation Control group for a major Bank.
One of my seniors has advised me to pursue the CQF as it is a part time course with a very good Curriculum.

I completed a BSc in Mathematics & Physics and an MBA in Finance. I have been working full time for the last 3.5 years and I have attained the FRM designation in 2013.

I was a bit confused between getting a CFA or CQF.
The CFA charter is very well recognized while the CQF seems to be more relevant to
my area of work (Interest rates Valuation control).
Any Advice or Suggestions are Welcome.

Thanks

Sure, you should complete the CQF if you want to stay in valuations. However, after obtaining the MBA and FRM designation, the CQF is not really going to give you too much of an additional boost. Just looks good on your resume. -Admissions Advice Online

Thanks a lot for your input

Apart from that, would the CFA be a better option considering its recognition?
and Would I be able to leverage the CQF to move into market risk or model validation?

Once again thanks
