Results are out!

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

Any pattern as far was when you received your results?

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

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

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

Thanks @djwestwood, keep your head up.

Thanks @zee.

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

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

Woohoo @alta12! nice one congrats!

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

@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)

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

@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)

congratulations to all those who passed!!

good work @alta12

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.

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

Congrats @mattyc!

@mattyc @alta12 @lulu123 @Dr_Pain28

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

@vincentt how did you go?

@Alta12 I passed L2.

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

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

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.

@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?

@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.

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

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

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
