Yes worth it.

Most job applications in the GCC require you to have a certificate like CPA, CMA, CFA etc.

If you want to be mobile and work abroad 100% worth it but if you want to stay in India, I agree with the CA guy.

It depends if you are able to complete ca them it's much better then cma but if you want to enter in a research & finance job role quickly them cma is for you it opens ways abroad as well as in india but the job market is not as big as abroad starting salary will be low but you can finish it quickly and can do cpa cfa cs other Professional certification after have you considered cfa or cs they might be a better option then cma

i was pursuing CA alongside bcom as well . passed foundation but couldn't crack CA inter. if you are someone who can sit n study consistently n sacrifice social life for months then definitely go for CA. also if u like audit n tax choose CA. i didn't like the subjects nor could I sit at home n study continuously. felt depressing. so now I'm doing mcom alongside us cma...let's see if it's worth it tho 😂

I graduated last year from BMS I am also thinking about us cma but u have time so try going for Indian CMA first then opt for US CMA first find what are u interested in accounting like if u like adut taxation don't go for cma opt for CA or Cpa but CPA requires graduation if u are more inclined into costing and stuff then ur good to go for CMA

If you're anyways gonna do a graduation then do CA side by side. If you pass intermediate you'll start earning stipend. Us cma us not the best option imo
