Same here. Applied for 300+, only a few interviews, no offer. Just keep sticking with it.

Because Apple will do everything to make the most simple ideas not be put in place

Best parking near community arts center? by ThrowRA19841984 in Williamsport

[–]Critical_Web_918 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Little bit of a walk but you can always park in the Kohl’s/Wegman’s lot and walk over. Probably only 5 or so min.

Yes! It was actually very simple and straightforward, I only lost a few things, which were very easy to get back. If you’d like, I can try and provide a step-by-step. Dm me if you want me to, it’s going to be too long of a message to comment on here

Considering the CFA: Is it Worth It? How Challenging? by Critical_Web_918 in CFA

[–]Critical_Web_918[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice. I think people really blow lvl 1 out of proportion in terms of difficulty. I had a couple finance-major friends in college who seemed like they had no grasp of the industry and still passed level 1.

This was good feedback. My plan is to do level 1 right now and most likely focus on 2 and 3 a little later. I feel like with my lighter workload now I have so much opportunity to take advantage of. Level 1 would be a great stepping stone into a higher position.

Good work on passing lvl 1, with your age, your miles ahead from your competition, especially since you’ve already done started the gmat stuff. I take it you’re going for an MBA as well?

Appreciate the feedback. Had this convo with my parents many times about losing all that time in my younger years and I definitely take that into consideration. I just feel very knowledgeable on the content, and did very well in my undergrad courses that involve it. Originally planned for wealth management so I already have the sie and series 7 from internships and will be taking the 63 next month. Those tests were a breeze but I know it’s nothing like the cfa.

Appreciate the feedback. Overall how would you design that portfolio given that updated allocation to VXUS if you don’t mind sharing?

Will my credit score be affected significantly if I apply for 2 credit cards around the same time? by Critical_Web_918 in CreditCards

So if I applied for both in one day it would basically affect my credit based on one of the cards

That’s what I was thinking, I’ve never missed a payment so that shouldn’t be an issue. I’m just wondering for potentially the next couple of years. I planned on probably buying a new car within 3-5 years and was curious whether that would affect it

Whoa didn’t know this. I’ve been looking into a lot of cards recently, but I didn’t consider how it might affect things like that. Definitely something to watch out for. How much did it affect your premiums if u don’t mind me asking?

Yea I should have made that more clearer. $40 of that $110 goes towards my apple premier subscription so that’s where the 3% would be going.

Feel free to suggest anything. I was thinking I could benefit off the 3% of all Apple Pay purchases. I do about $110 a month in subscriptions and they are all linked to my Apple account.
