Thanks for your comments.
I agree that CFA curriculum is not rocket science, but it needs the allocation of time.
All I’m worried about is not the failure of exams(I still have to experience my first exam fail in my life, having a couple of science degrees — etc…(I know it’s always a first time 🙂 )), but will the time and commitment be paid off?All considering previous experiences, background, and age.
Thanks for your replies again.
Up4Hmmm, I was having an error when “Posting” it.
Surprisingly is gone through and now I have this discussion started three times.
Can an admin delete a couple please.Thanks
Up4Still no map/image…..
Up4Yes, I totally agree with that.
Credits to CityScotGirl.Up3Hi kthomasjoseph.
I think you are in good time. I joined/registered last week and received the material on post today(pretty quick from USA to UK).
I have a software background and I DON’T work on City(I do work in Central London), but I think is possible (in my opinion) to achieve a pass mark for this December.All the best anyway.
Up3Hi.
As I’m “diving” into this “sea” of discussions,the Schweser’s term is used someplaces.
– Is it something I/newbie have to consider?
– Is the LARGE material from CFA not enough?(I received today my shipment, counting the pages will take almost a day…) #:-SUp3Hi @Zee.
Revision, yeh, was randomly checking/reading the material…it looks a lot (much more than I thought).
But had a start…reading the first volume commuting to work today.I was aware it is a lot of work, but honestly……that high volume…..no, didn’t expect that.
Let hope it will be financially/career rewarding.Hi @Reena, how I decided for CFA.
I work on IT (test analyst), with a passion for markets.
I found myself in on some kind of dead-end job/prospectus, and what have seen from a few job interviews I have at banking/financial sector (IT related), it is a industry which pays well, with high prospectus for individuals. SO to say two main reasons: financial rewards and career opportunities.
Let see where this “adventure” will take me . 🙂Good luck with your “around the corner” exam.
Up3@singhanand98. Nice topic.
@vincentt. I got a BSc in Computer Science, have been working on IT for my last 5 years, but really think finance word is better respected (pls don’t get me wrong), and better rewarded as IT.
Looking forward to PASS my level 1 on December.
After that will start thinking/looking for a better job/prospectus.(did passing Level 1 give you any opportunity at all).
June soon, good luck to majority of you having exam around the corner.Up1Hi guys, nice topic, with interesting comments.
Yes, @tonypetrunin to answer your question, I believe a early start will do good, it’s a lot to learn(especially if your background is not in finance).
I started reading on the same day as I received reading material (yesterday).
I don’t have any particular plan as to what to read first, but I’m going with CFA volume numbering.Hope is going well for you all.
Up1@Sophie
Plausible comments.
Thanks.
@shchan, yes, I understand you frustration…I have a f/t job, family(inc. two kids) and I know how hard it is/will be.
It is a goal we “volunteered” to achieve….so we will.
As for time, how about evenings, when kids are asleep.
Maybe not the best time, but you will see progress.Hope you will find your way around.
Up1Thanks guys.
I thought so….just to clarify it (on data analysis exam at my Uni, we where given a formula sheet).But doesn’t seem the case here…(fair / unfair for all)
Thanks againUp1Thanks for your kind words @sophie and @microeconomist.
You'll be just fine, my friendat least this made me smile.Up0OK.
Thanks @Diya. I wasn’t aware of options.
