I know many pple who wants to go for the big bucks in front office. Here are my personal thoughts;
For pple who have a few years experience working and wants to get into front office, get a top MBA from a top top university (ivy league). Banks take in MBA graduates yearly and you stand a very good chance to get in (even though you have no prior experience working in front office).
CFA to me, does not add as much value as a top MBA. So either you want to do it, do a full time MBA (save and shrimp for it) and then go for big bucks.
Worst scenerio is to do a neither here nor there MBA from a mid-tier school and find yourself in the same place.
Good luck!
