Hi All. I work for GE as a systems analyst coding and maintaining their Oracle database… I am also freshly done with my undergrad and all excited about the world :). I do not really hate my job per say, I think I really like what I am doing currently, but finance has always been something quite attractive to me. And hence the CFA to see if I can fit in or not… After CFA Level 3, if I think I still love it then would try to get into equity analysis (for now thats the plan at least), if not then it would be a fun ride!

Hello @apoolla13! welcome to the team 🙂 Well, you’re still young and there’s no better time to explore your interest as a career! @vincentt here is in similar situation to you too, so you’re not alone! I’ll let him elaborate his background 🙂

Thanks Sophie. I’m sorry couldn’t respond earlier. I’ve just realized how bad I am in time management! I will definitely be more active in the forum once Dec 7th passes.

Hi,

This is probably one of my first posts here (can’t remember anything anymore @-) ) and this response is here because you’ve touched a topic that is now frequently giving me nightmares! I’ve just finished corporate finance and portfolio management, left ethics to the end. I still have Econ and Fixed Income books to finish from schweser!

I was so consistently worried that I am the only one in this boat, but glad to find someone else too trying to beat it in a month :))

I swear to everything that is holy to me, if I can figure out what happened to that wonderfully made excel sheet with day-to-day planning of things to do which showed me that I can finish the entire curriculum two months before the exam! I so hate myself currently. [-(

Anyway, enough of my rant and back to books. Good luck to you @toeknee9121 and @microeconomist.

Hello @apoolla13 welcome to this friendly community! I work for a media company as a software developer coding/writing software, but just like you i have great interest in finance too! I passed level 1 in Dec 12 and currently cracking my head for level 2. Are you sitting for level 1 this coming June?

Hi Vincent… I am sitting for the Dec 7th exam @-) and hopefully will see it through… How did your level 1 go? Did you give it in June?

I find statistics kinda tough nut to crack. But then again, I come from a non-finance, non-mathematical background… Probably expected 🙂
