And Lo another value destroying post at 300 hours. Really what is the point of this post (and “I Passed after only 2 weeks study”)?
Ignoring the wisdom of whether we should encourage candidates to act this way the CFA is a professional exam taken in a professional context. We should be encouraging people to act in a professional manner. Okay you ran out of time and had to start late it happens, it’s okay, but it shouldn’t be a badge of pride.
This is worse.
If I found out someone in my team turned up drunk for an exam we paid for I wouldn’t treat it any different for if they had turned up to a client meeting drunk.
I’m not trying to be a killjoy, these things happened. I may even have some dubious decisions in my past, but I keep quite about them, I don’t wave my hands, look at me, look at me, look what I did. This brings to mind the emails from GS where account managers reveled in selling unsuitable products becasue their clients didn’t understand.
congratulations you passed the exam, I suggest you keep quite about how, because I don’t know many teams who would want to take someone like you over someone who acts like an adult.
