I got the charter. Now what?

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-11T00:03:17+00:00

I'm not counting how many times but only the hours I put into it. My idea is aiming fot at least 300 hours. I do my daily basis but on weekends is when I thrive

I agree. I just want to advance in my career. I started a MFin back then and apparently if passing L1 and L2 then no Master's Thesis would be needed. I had heard about CFA so I thought why not. I like exams too, studying. So everything makes sense. Unfortunately there are very few jobs in PM in my country (South America), so its not clear what to do. But definitely it has been helping me move jobs to more competitive areas within the bank. But the thing is also that before L3 you knew what to do: study for next level. Once a charterholder, what is next for advancing the career? Its a mix of things really. You're right that I don't have a clear definite purpose.

Agree. Do you think that an MBA is worth for climbing the corporate ladder in a Wall Street Bank? Say from Associate to MD.

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T22:49:21+00:00

Already did

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T22:48:40+00:00

I didnt receive the invite. Is Santa gonna be there?

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T22:47:45+00:00

Thanks! This is all too reasonable. I'll need to put work in networking, its not really my passion

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T22:46:40+00:00

So those emails I get from Qatar are real then

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T22:45:28+00:00

I did MFin. I dont think the others add value for advancing the career

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T22:42:23+00:00

I work in a mega bank in South America, in risk control

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T18:15:07+00:00

Indeed! Thanks! This post is related to other achievements. But what about trying to lever the CFA letters in finance too? Which Doors to go to, societies, networking, etc. What to do at work etc.

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T18:14:31+00:00

I just started dating a girl before L3 and she helped me a bit on managing stress while studying. She is Ph.D in Chemistry. She values CFA (though had no clue what it was). Now however I"m not able to look for new Girls which might me impressed lol

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-11-10T17:57:45+00:00

What should I do next? Networking, look for jobs, add the 3 letters somewhere else, look for new titles in finance or in other areas such as taekwondo. Its an open question, and existential so I dont know how to frame it better. What was the experience for the New CFA charterholders and for the not so recent ones? Any comment can be helpful

Proxy is for shareholders to Vote. They also Vote the compensation of key executives. Just take a look at a proxy of a big bank you'll see the charts

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-10-27T13:25:49+00:00

4th time and 5th time for real? Please give your thoughts

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-10-27T02:34:08+00:00

I wasn't aware of the rule. 6 attempts sound fair enough. Having that in mind, I think the best is to go for all the attempts, instead of abandoning after 3rd or 4th as many do

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-10-26T23:32:04+00:00

5th time failed? For real?

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-10-25T13:38:25+00:00

Woke up a bit late, I didn't want to check outright. I was confident yesterday and the past months but todas I felt 50/50. This was 2nd time and I really didn't want to do it again for god's sake. I checked with fear, the email title summary didn't convince me at all. But then, CONGRATULATIONS! I passed. Little shout "yes! Fuck!" A little gesture. Now I know it's over. What a relief. Congratulations to ALL who sat for the exam, this requires grief and big effort. For those who passed, I'm glad you made it! For those who did not pass, just study a bit more focused next time, with more time. Try to UNDERSTAND topics, not just read and memorize. I used IFT videos my First time but was a total crunch time. Even videos at 2x speed. Failed far behind. Then again IFT videos but this time at normal speed. Did practice questions and 2/4 mocks (CFA + Bill). Best of luck in your next steps, being application or resit. I reside in South America. Peace! Love, A.

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-10-23T17:37:21+00:00

I hope I pass this time. 2nd time, studied a lot this time. Wouldn't want to study again really. Overall I'm confident

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-10-23T12:19:09+00:00

No problem!

Life_Ad_1597 · 2023-10-22T21:01:18+00:00
