You are 25+ I bet @Diya

in reply to: Usefulness of CFA mock exam vs. Schweser mocks?!! #69350Up::6IMO, CFA mocks represents how the paper setting style gonna be like, in terms of the framing of questions, language used, etc. whereas schweser mocks are cocktail of every type of questions which can be asked in the exam (which doesn’t really mean that schweser mocks are better, is just that it puts you through rigorous twists and turns in questions). But at the end,never under estimate the god (CFA INSTITUTE), because they do tend to throw scariest googly one can ever face in the battlefield (exam). So without comparing, solve both mocks and schwesers mocks as much as you can. And try to keep consistency in the marks you get, and do check sectionaly too if you faring well or not.
Up::6@sophie I kind of agree with you on the point that its all about how you. Sell yourself in interviews. I shall check those links soon, as I’m in the process to find a new job.
Well about the qualifications part, I can tell you from my personal opinions and generally, specifically the situation in india is such that people (employers) over here place more emphasise on the degrees or qualifications you have. There are People over here who are god damn engineers with MBA’s from B schools and then they do CFA which I find it so odd. Then there are my some friends who are one of top rankers in CA and still they studied actuaries. Way I could make out from this was, employers over here see what you got rather than the experience you have in the particular job, am not saying experience is not counted at all but qualifications take upper hand I guess.
in reply to: Liar’s Poker – Michael Lewis #67830in reply to: Discovering Badges #67901Up::5@imdnextbuffet Points are an indication of how involved you’ve been in the forum. We’re thinking of reward tiers for points (e.g. get XXX when you reach YYY points) but yet to decide on something concrete.
What we have decided is to give away prizes to the top 3 weekly leaders every week until the June exam 🙂
Oh really? then I see myself on top of weekly ladder, what do I get bro? 😉
in reply to: There should be a Level 2 and 3 in December too. #67911Up::5That’s a really good point @imdnextbuffet – at L2 you’re ‘hooked’.
I know, its just that I talk and convince myself too much in many topics by myself, when I had this same question, this is what I came up with.
in reply to: Spot the distractions! #68684in reply to: *Book Recommendation* Real Money – Jim Cramer #68797Up::5The only time I’ve seen this dude was on Iron Man (when Tony Stark just announced Stark Industries is shutting down their defence department). 😀
lol @tim
in reply to: First interview! Any tips from the pros here? #68838Up::5@christine, @imdnextbuffett thanks so much for the useful tips! Helps with the jitters… 1 week countdown
It would be positive for you. 😉
in reply to: Which is your favorite currency? #68877Up::5I even got my Ipad2 cover with loads of dollars imprinted on it :p
That’s a bit too bling for me…
Not really have a look
Up::5When posting the April 1st post, we decided that the official metric of ‘number of people punked’ would be the number of clicks to the ‘official press release’ at the bottom of the post (this actually led to the Wikipedia page for April Fool’s Day). This number stands at 209 (now 215) at time of writing, which is the most number of people we have ever successfully pranked in our lackadaisical pranking career.
This also spawned some rather frantic discussions on Facebook and other sites too, mostly people complaining that (1) it’s 2014 rather than 2013, and (2) that Level III wasn’t included in the December session.
What did you think about the prank? Ideas for next year’s?

Ruthless prank well designed.
in reply to: Should cigarette smoking be banned? #69000Up::5@zee banned in indoors? you mean restaurants and etcetera?
@mattjuniper +1 on the point you mentioned.
in reply to: Which Smartphone brand you own at moment? #69010Up::5@imdnextbuffet dumbphones = not smart phones. Remember these once upon a time?!

@Zee @Sophie those were still the most credibly built phones. Even considered as weapons at some point in time :))
Up::5Purely because I’m in love with Japanese food. And it’s a beautiful country (except some occasional tsunami and earth quakes!)
yakitori, kushikatsu 😀
in reply to: What’s your age? #69045Up::5@imdnextbuffet – dangerous territory, guessing a girl’s age. You have 50% chance of annoying here. Too risky! 😛
@sophie you were right 😮
in reply to: What’s your age? #69080Up::5@imdnextbuffet I’ll take that as a compliment. I’m a total goofball in person, probably why I get such low guess on my age xD
Good sporty gal :d
Up::5Glad you to know that @sophie and yeh that’s the term, I’m hearing out quite a lot since couple pf months, then it’s abenomics, obamacare n all n all lol
Up::5Hey @hairyfairy, i think you’ve gotten it wrong about @imdnextbuffet. He’s a level 2 candidate if i’m not wrong.
