Like I said 5-6k + My wife( gf now) salary to buy a car. Not solely my earning alone.

Another path I have in mind is to be an accountant specialize in investment. With that experience I think it will be closer to being a fund manager.
Come on lar, there are truckloads of finance people taking part time ACCA certs all the time. I also went through that 5 years ago and have 3 people in my team going for it now.

With only jr level exp doing finance ops on the ARAP side, you can get in a big4 as a fresh level associate after that already sibei heng lah, what investment speacialist / fund manager talking you?

BTW I cant believe you actually take all that ACCA framework theoretic sh!t seriously, go and take your CV to any headhunter and say you want to be a investment specialist / fund manager because you are ACCA certified and see who will bother to entertain you.

Not pouring cold water or what, but you really think taking some relatively common cert like ACCA is gonna transform you from some 2.1k accounts assistant to a investment banking / trading BB har?

Time to wake up & smell the roses.
