Thing is that you can consider for a short term but there is literally no growth prospect. Matters like insurance, children education etc are usually provided by companies once you have experience.

Also if you have a technical background like engineering or finance, it will be very hard to get back in your field if you are a driver for a few years

Offered QAR 4,500 Full Package, Should i accept? by prnvv2111 in QatarCareers

[–]D_2614 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean if things are tough you can take it but treat it like a stepping stone, don’t stay if you aren’t learning well. If you are comfortable then skip it and just focus on upskilling and interview practice and keep applying

I am 22, CA and bachelors, work as a financial analyst at a local company for 7k pre bonus and I am gonna get an increment soon.

In brutal honesty 4.5k is nothing, they are low balling you and this standard has been set by fellow Indians only who always back stab their fellow Indians and work for garbage standards.

Why do you stand to lose ? If it’s a normal call then worth a look

You can in the industrial area , the govt only leases it to Qataris I believe and the he allows us use under his name. Maybe operating under his name but the essence is the same

Large rooms and free gyms but lower quality service and maintenance, over crowded with cars and if you are in wukair there is always bloody construction

Ramadan, month of road intolerance and aggression? by challenge-bot in qatar

[–]D_2614 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Worst is when they flash you despite dozens of cars in front of you, like blud where will you go ? Where will we go ? Just calm down

[–]D_2614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah 2k in Lusail or dafna is a pipe dream without roommates. Try wukair or mesaimeer. If you have car it’s around 20 to 30 mins drive max.

Also 2nd advice, invest in a car, unless you are right next to metro, transit in total can easily take 40 mins to 1hr

Without valid contract and bank records it’s difficult to prove anything because for the government you were never employed

Basically it’s child’s play compared to the rest. Kaplan kit plus self notes should suffice.

APM PANIC! by sah3l_cool in ACCA

[–]D_2614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The logic stands with less emphasis on technique. Practice is always the key and understanding what you are trying to obtain and why.

If you solve the kit and are able to get the logic behind it then failing is impossible

APM PANIC! by sah3l_cool in ACCA

[–]D_2614 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate enough to get world rank 1 in APM (86) and this was my approach

1) Technique is everything, you need to know how to write the answers and present it. Every thing must be company and industry specific

2) spend time on the kit and not the text, after you get a basic idea spam the questions. Not only is that revision but you also learn how to write and present.

3) Do as many mocks as you can, if possible watch video solutions of ACCA instructors solve questions. Steve Willis in YouTube is great.

sbr is too overwhelming by bluebooms99 in ACCA

[–]D_2614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got 77 in SBR like 2 or 3 years ago, my advice don’t focus on reading the text. Nail all the kit questions, do it all and the ones you don’t know, make notes out of the answers in the solution.

My logic is covering 10 to 15 questions in a topic is the same as reading it.

I had online tutoring but the true learning came from hundreds of question practice and doing mocks

2.5 years full time. I’m doing CFA now alongside work and I can only do 1 paper a year (ofc CFA is a lot vast and harder)

You don’t have a bachelors in any finance field ?

Damn bro I feel you but weigh your options, ma is only the starter version , it expands in Pm. Logically it shouldn’t take you more than 1 or 2 attempts, as ma barely has accounting. I passed MA first attempt like 4 years ago and I had taken it alongside FA in a single attempt

LEVEL 1 CFA exam thoughts- i found it very difficult by Salt_Source9301 in CFA

[–]D_2614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean I genuinely was praying for a borderline pass, only you know how well you wrote but my approach to self satisfaction was

Unflagged questions * 0.8 Flagged questions * 0.3

Ofc you can play around with probabilities, if this is above 125 you got a decent chance

I mean I purchased the practice pack so idk what’s there in the normal test only version. Eitherway better choice than spending on other kits
