@ajfinance in 3 months I’ll be right there with you 😉
http://reactiongifs.com/?p=795Up5@christine- one of my all time favorite reads!!! It should be a must for all business majors. I also enjoyed his book “what the dog saw”.
Up5According to my kidney and liver, I am a solid 35 but according to my drivers license I am sitting at 24 :))
Up4@Christine thanks for the information! To clarify, the Dallas CFA chapter course is $950 all in pre-scholarship. Post-scholarship, the course comes out to $450 and seems like a heck of a value. I did receive the scholarship and as a result am definitely leaning towards that route. ^:)^ ^:)^
As for supplementation material, I definitely see myself buying audio lecturers considering that I can review material while driving and working out.
Up4@christine What turned you off most about it?
Up4@marc- Great insights! I will definitely take your suggestions to heart.
On the TimePrep app, is it really worth $50?
Up4@imdnextbuffett right there with you pal. I may not be the most intelligent but I will out-work the best of em’ 😉 Being very adaptive and flexible works too
something to think about… 😛

Up3@diya- good take. I agree that music should be off for new/fresh subjects.I prefer to listen to instrumental music from classical (four string quartet), electronic (pretty lights), and even to wu-tang clan instrumentals 😉
Up3Graduated with my masters, very blessed to have landed my current role and salary. Want rest on my laurels, going for the cfa and looking for more!!! I am sure you all can relate!!! :-h
Up3@Zee- love the positive attitude!
Up3My two cents… study early and often.
I, too, am sitting for the L1 this December. I just started studying and decided that morning are the best for me. I wake up at 4:45 and study by 5:15 for 2 hours and then head to the office. I make it a priority in the mornings. This ensures that I make a deposit to my weekly study times. If I save the studying for after-work hours I will be absolutely fatigued by the day. Also, the morning is the only time that I really own as I often work irregular hours and live and die by each project I take on each quarter. I also plan on using my lunch, when possible, for review periods.
I agree with @tacheman, don’t be afraid to make it known that you are working on this. Own this journey. I think people will be more supportive and will appreciate your willingness to pursue this certification.
Up3I try to remind myself the following every morning too:
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”

A few quick questions:
– Where is your firm based?
– In your opinion and from your experience, do you see it as a value for prospective associate-level candidates to have a CFA? What about strategy consulting experience?I only ask as it is my hope to break into the space in the near future.
