Hi

I have been failing Singapore CA professional exams. Yes i am ashamed of it.
Was depressed about it as I see my colleagues in big 4 audit 1 by 1 clearing them and getting their chartered title, moving on with their life. As for myself, i see myself not able to make it to manager too..

In the word of accounting profession, it seems like it is compulsory to have a professional qualification to be in line with the job market. An auditor/accountant with none is stuck or perhaps going be tough moving forward. Thus seeking advice if i should attempt:

1. CFA level 1 (probably not able to clear all 3 levels)
2. CPA australia (clearing) + CIMA Strategic Case study (To get CGMA title)
3. CPA australia (clearing) + CIA (To get ceritified internal auditor)
