CGA VS Investment Banking Industry

Hi, I am a CGA candidate but am working in the mutual fund accounting for a bank. I had been working as a general ledger accountant for years here and joined the bank a year ago. I was excited to join the department thinking it was related to accounting. I regretted at my decision now since it seems bank industry is not a good place for a person pursuing CGA. It is more for MBA and CFA guys, especially after reading the posts in this forum. I am now in a real dilemma, which is whether to change my job. Please give me some advice.

    • 在国内银行做了十年,不知道这里如何。会计岗位在银行属于基础,但比较简单,只有计划部这样的部门才用的上高级点的核算预测方法。银行的核心部门是存款和信贷,近几年又有不少产品创新,怎么盈利和控制风险是主要的。
      • 你是CGA,在银行也应该有用武之地。有朋友在企业做会计,忙的要死,也正想换到政府去工作呢。
    • 如果你已经决定pursue CGA,而现在这份银行工作的经验又不会被CGA承认的话,那你得想办法换工作了。建议先从银行内部着手,看看有没有internal transfer的机会。
      • 谢谢两位的高见。 在企业做会计,忙的要死 -- 哈哈,一定是大公司吧。我以前在一小公司做过general accoutant, 闲的很呢。
