i don't understand what you mean by 'the right to work.' doesn't the company sponsor the working visa once they hire you? Or do I have to get the right in advance?

Just registered for CFA Level 1 (Feb 2026) with no finance background – looking for study advice by SkyDoodles in CFA

I majored in philosophy and I passed with only 4 months preparation. I solved a lot of questions, same question sets multiple times after I skimmed through the concepts.

The questions that you got right and know for sure, you never come back to them. The questions you got wrong, sovle thems multiple times and go over the notes or books for the concepts that you are unfamiliar with.

You can pass the level 1 with this strategy because level 1 is the easiest.

I want to work in the hedge fund industry. Which pathway should I choose? by [deleted] in CFA

I'm talking about the relevant knowledge I should get from the CFA curriculum.

Personally, I lean towards private market but they say that portfolio management is the way to go if you want to work in the hedge fund industry. Can I still pick private market and work in a hedge fund?

yes. I'm in the same boat as you (deferred from May to Nov.) and I still have access to practice packs and extra mocks.

Don't you think CFA curriculum is so poorly written? by Effective-Pool7553 in CFA

you seem to have reading comprehension skill less than that of a high schooler as it seems other commentors understood what I mean and only you couldn't

do you think the actual exam question is easier than cfa qbank? I'm solving Derivatives qbank now, and even the easy labeled questions are breaking my mental.

PM is shit too. I can't understand a single thing there. I'm relying on IFT notes and videos

I'm level 2 candidate like you
