Results are out!

Yay @lulu123 – well done! Congrats, you so deserve it after doing bazillion of practice questions!

Congrats @mattyc!

@Alta12 I’ll definitely wanna complete CFA but I won’t be enrolling just yet, hoping that my employer could sponsor.

Why not analyst role? Isn’t that the ultimate goal? No harm trying 😀

If you receive the email right away are you more likely pass? Do failing candidates wait longer?

Woohoo @alta12! nice one congrats!

🙂 Passed L1….!! Thanks to everyone in 300hrs..!! Ur advice and Blog Posts are just invaluable..

@zee thanks for writing that amazing article. I’ve actually read it when it was out last month, but i’m thinking of my ‘future’ employer 😛

hows the interviewing going @vincentt?

Wow! GOGOGO, don’t forget to Analyse your results here!

Thanks @zee.

@mattyc cheers, it’s disappointing, but no-one’s died 🙂 Fingers are crossed for you.

congratulations to all those who passed!!

good work @alta12

Passed!!!! Thank you 300hours! Onto Level 2!

@vincentt how did you go?

@vincentt Great! I thought so. Will you be enrolling L3 straight away?

@sophie i’m having a dilemma on whether to give an analyst role a try or perhaps stick to IT (software development) in finance. So far I’ve only applied for IT in FS.

Any pattern as far was when you received your results?

I wonder what the hold-up is… for level one I got it right away.

Thanks @djwestwood, keep your head up.

@sophie @zee

I’m super happy! I passed!
Thanks guys for running this site. It really helped keep my spirits up and helped with studying!

(and thanks to everybody I spoke to as well, too many to tag in the post haha)

@Alta12 I passed L2.

but if your goal is to get into AM, any role that gets you closer to that goal should be considered. It’s sometimes harder to jump direct, but gradually switching over works all the time.

E.g. if you get an investment banking or equity research role with your CFA, do it for a year, and aim for AM –> easier than trying to hop into AM from IT. I suppose it’s less risky from an employer’s point of view

@mattyc Nope, failing candidates don’t wait longer – I can attest to this 😉

@zee I think I was on the verge of hyperventilating during the half-hour that I was waiting for the results e-mail hahahaha (scarier than exam itself, for realz)

I passed! I really enjoy this blog, it was only a shame I found it after I took the test. But it will be really helpful for level 2.

@mattyc @alta12 @lulu123 @Dr_Pain28

Passed Level 2! Woohoo!
Thank you @sophie @zee @vincentt for helping me along the way!
I am so excited I cannot sleep!!

@zee you bet! We’ll work hard together 😉

It’s not a given that they will sponsor the next level as well? Well I hope to see you in L3 forum. Many thanks for all your help. Very much appreciated.

@sophie but it seems analyst role can be for anything, most of the time it’s not even related to asset management.
