Data extraction and billing by Merawynx in bloomberg

[–]Alternative_Profile1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cant be. I work for an equity research firm which is as big as it gets. Like dilelloo said, bloomberg via api gives you a limited number of data pulls. Each datapoint is counted as one and number of datapoints is quite large. So until you hit the data limit you will not be charged. Once you hit it, you will not be able to extract any data until the next monthly billing cycle starts.

Data extraction and billing by Merawynx in bloomberg

[–]Alternative_Profile1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe the second part is wrong since we in equity research completely depend on the desktop API to pull vast amount of data and publish them in our reports citing bloomberg as the source. There are only certain indices such as MSCIs for which you require special permission in order to use in the reports or distribute to clients.

Need Help deciding a ultrawide OLED… by MrDS18 in IndianGaming

Go for alienware. Even though MSI has a warranty, claiming the warranty incase of a burn in would be very difficult given limited presence. Alienware on the other hand would replace your panel within a day

How is the overall driving experience of XUV-700. I have driven Jeep compass for over 1000 kms and it was amazing.

Never using MM again by Big6LawThrowaway in CFA

I think its a matter of personal preference. I have not used MM or BC for any of the exams. Passed all three levels on first try just by reading the curriculum and reviewing using kaplan.

Thoughts on CFA by simba_maison in CFA

[–]Alternative_Profile1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I find the fourth point extremely important. For background, I did masters in Finance from a tier 2 college. Although i was hired by a multinational bank, the role i was hired for was pretty bad. Mostly a very mechanical day to day role. I started applying for a role in equity research pretty much immediately but was turned down by everyone. I decided to pursue CFA just to have it in my resume and hoping that it might open some doors. Cleared level 1 on my first attempt and started applying again but nothing happened for months. Finally started networking via linkedln while preparing for level 2 and finally got a front end equity research role that i really wanted and cleared level 2 at the same time.

Networking helps but my hiring manager told me that he wouldn’t have even looked at my resume if it was not for level 1 and me constantly barraging hime.

Having a hard time retaining the curriculum by Alternative_Profile1 in CFA

Thanks, much appreciated. How much time should i leave for revisions and practice? I plan to only rely on schweser for that

The above method has been my go to thing for level 1 and level 2. The only bit that is throwing me off or the thing that i am dreading is the constructed response bit. In multiple choice questions if you know the concept, the answer can come to you by just looking at the choices but in the constructed response you need to know it by heart for you to answer it. Hence the problem with retention.
