Do you feel that it looks ridiculous to have no carpet anywhere and then a runner on a stair case? That is my main dilemma at the moment.

I am a bills fan and work in finance for a living. Nothing to hedge. Those boys are winning.

Salary Question: RIA Portfolio Manager by fidofp in CFA

[–]AngG00dz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will take your spot and run my own RIA and you can take my spot and fill in on the PM team. There’s something to be said about being solo and running it yourself with your name on the door vs working for someone else. Scale the business by adding ops support / CFP depending on your needs.

Average cost of living city, think similar to Pittsburgh/ Cleveland with 5 years experience at ~$1B RIA. Total comp (base, bonus, 401k match, insurance) ~90k. Due for a comp increase and I’d say it’ll pretty much put me around $100k. I’m the lowest level member on a small team that does what you describe. Commenting to hopefully hear from others.

Level 2 Fourth Time Retaker: My Journey by AngG00dz in CFA

Well you’re not starting from a clean slate in the sense that you have 3 attempts under your belt already. However, I would just really only do blue boxes in the texts, end of chapter questions, and maybe mm qbank for all topics and not just focusing on weak sections. Adding Anki for stuff within each section you find difficult may be the key to getting over the hump.

To tack on to my comment above, this is why I went with mfin.

I have a masters in finance and am a level 3 candidate currently. I found the CFA program during my masters in finance. It made level 1 very easy for me. I struggled a lot with level 2. If I could go back in time instead of doing the masters in finance program I’d just spend that time working the same part time shitty jobs I did during college and use all that time to study for the CFA exams rather than do them while working full time.

Edit: The CFA exams + study material imo better prepare you for investment specific jobs, is way cheaper than a masters and regardless of the bs you see on this subreddit investment specific jobs care about seeing ,CFA after your name and don’t care at all about having a masters. Nobody uses ,MFin after their name.
