in reply to: Is the CFA worth it for an MBA/CPA? #81272Up::5
Thanks Zee for the feedback!
I work in an analyst role in a major financial institution. My consulting practice is also providing business education training at the undergraduate and graduate level.
in reply to: Is the CFA worth it for an MBA/CPA? #81447Up::5After some ‘soul-searching’ I have decided to proceed with level 1 for 2015. Based on my schedule, I will likely attempt level 1 in December of 2015. Ideally it would have been better to give it a go in June 2015 (this may change depending on the next couple of months).
In this ‘soul searching’ process I have been called many things from friends, colleagues and family members. The words told to me included things to do with my sanity and if I had a life other than getting professional titles. Despite this I do know I enjoy learning and value education and at the very least, I can further deepen my knowledge of corporate finance. I also realize that a lot of people around me do not really know what it is to take on such projects and this I understand. Embarking on the CFA process won’t be easy but I am up for the challenge. On to the next discussion board – CFA level 1 prep.
in reply to: Elan/Wiley CFA guides – reviews? #81451Up::3@jak5189‌ thank you for the info! I hope you get a successful result for lv.1
Can you let me know what you did to study for lv. 1? You can PM if easier.
Any other comments for Elan prep for lv.1?in reply to: Is the CFA worth it for an MBA/CPA? #81476Up::3Hi @chanman201‌
Thanks for the words of encouragement! It looks like the CFA would definitely boost your credentials in terms of moving into the M&A realm. I know many with your background currently pursuing the CFA as they work in M&A in major public accounting firms. Have you decided if you will pursue this journey as well? I’ll send you a PM so we can further our discussionin reply to: BSAS CFA Level 1 – mock exam & question bank #82521Up::3hey @hairyfairy
I’ve received confirmation that the question bank with BSAS for the 3 previous years of mock exams from BSAS.. so 720 questions. I’ve heard good things as well but hoping for more feedback as to quality of questions. -
