Hi Deepa, since you are asking about CFA Charterholder you must be aware of the mandatory requirement of 4 years of professional experience in finance related jobs. Since you already have more than 9 years of investment banking experience you just have to clear CFA Level 3 ( in case you have already cleared CFA Level 1 and CFA Level 2 ). After getting the charter you will get lot of professional recognition and value in the corporate market in BFSI sector. You can also look for job opportunities abroad as CFA USA can also handle compliance related jobs.

I don't know if you're currently looking into colleges, but if you were, you'd notice the difference between an M.Sc (CS) and MCA instantly. I was looking into the Master of Computer Application programme at AIMS recently and learnt that the difference lies in the syllabus. While an M.Sc (CS) will cover a broader area of study, an MCA will polish the skills you've already acquired in your BCA. I think you should follow your BCA with a Master of Computer Application (MCA). The reason I say this is because a bachelor's degree lays the foundation for computer application and a master's programme takes it to another level with practical as well as theoretical knowledge.With an M.Sc (CA), you'll get a broad level understanding of programming. However, an MCA will be more detailed, more in-depth in comparison.
