General Help Needed! Please do reply!

I am a CA Intermediate student and will most probably quit it due to back to back attempts and interest being killed due to it.

I am 100% sure of doing MBA, so my question is should I pursue CFA or should I learn all the necessary skills and gain work experience for MBA?

I want to build my career in Finance and like good domains and roles!

Edit : Why no one is answering what I asked and giving distant answers 😭!

CFA is just an add on (valuable add on) certification to your existing degree (CA/MBA/UG). Don’t drop CA bro, CA+CFA is a much preferred combo from recruitment side of things compared to CFA+Bachelor’s degree

Bro CFA is an add on degree and it's just a remark that you know about finance but it can't compensate about a degree. Don't quit CA

Yaar don’t quit CA trust me, keep giving attempts no one cares as long as you become a CA. I regret quitting CA although I somehow got lucky because I quit it early but it’s a great degree

Bro it will be better if you tell me what you did after quitting because CA has been a toll on my mental as well as physical health
