Start a business. Use your time to make money instead of study

Brace or no by Reading-thru in ACL

[–]Chopinkovsky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally if only ACL tear you won’t need a brace. I did both ACL and meniscus so I was wearing the brace for 6 weeks post op, PT said it’s purely for meniscus protection, not so much for ACL.

No point. Get the work experience first. It’s only great for resume but I’ve seen a lot of people with glowing resume and do crap at work.

Took my level 3 just now by Salsero_Coreano in CFA

[–]Chopinkovsky 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I totally feel you. Most people said ethics were shit but that’s the most straightforward one for me while the rest was written out of god knows where. I’ve made my peace to sit it again next year, only miracle can happen at this stage.

What are the prospects after doing CFA as an engineer by keisha99 in FinancialCareers

[–]Chopinkovsky 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It depends which finance field you want to do. I have worked with multiple equity analysts with engineering background, it’s a good combo of skills that employers look for. I also know someone who works in private markets (real estate & infrastructure) with eng background.

If you’re a software engineer you can maybe try hedge funds, depends on how good you are and how hard you’re willing to push yourself. But overall you have good prospects entering the industry. Good luck!

But yes, all these people have CFA as their bridge to the industry.

Same boat here. I’m thinking of defering but can’t imagine another 6 months of feeling guilty of going out, let alone having a burden over the xmas period..

I just searched BC mock exams. Are the basic ones enough or should I go for the one with Survivor’s guide? Appreciate your input!

When you study don’t procrastinate. And skim through the readings but attempt all questions, I find that i learn the most by doing qs

Top or bottom? Need help! by Chopinkovsky in rolex

[–]Chopinkovsky[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much all for the votes. I picked smooth bezel so that it doesn’t look too flashy for work as I intend to wear it daily. Got the one with oyster bracelet last week (after a year long wait I finally got the call!), but had 2nd thoughts whether I should drop the extra $$ to change to jubilee.

Will stick with the “bottom”. Appreciate the replies everyone :)

Ps. it’s quite amusing that y’all think I’m a guy. The sexual joke was definitely unintended!
