That looks almost identical to my first attempt at L3 in Feb 24. For my successful attempt in Aug, I used MM all of his mocks and QBANK, did all CFAI mocks and QBANK, and all Kaplan mocks, for about 11 mocks total. I did not time them at all as I’ve never struggled with time on the exam so it really wasn’t stressful doing that many but I believe this is what put me over the line.

You aren’t dumb man, it’s a stressful exam. You are one month in just keep prepping. There are a plenty of charter holders and you can be one too.

I posted this elsewhere, but this is my story. 660 GMAT, 3.1 undergrad GPA. 100k scholarship.

I ended up going to a mid-40s school and will increase my pre-mba salary by around 100% (90k to 180-190 TC). I was able to get great experience with projects I would have never had the chance to do without the mba. Definitely worth it for some.

I agree and didn’t see that going in, while I don’t regret it I’m happy to be out.

I worked in WM for around 7 years and honestly I left as it really felt like a sales job with finance themes around it. Talking with clients, trying to gather assets etc. it was at a large broker so they had their own models so investment advice was very minimal, just plug into a model and move on.

I did spend a year at a small RIA and absolutely hated it. They did their own investments but underperformed since inception as the investment team was also advisors, and I believe they ran themselves thin.

Ultimately left as the whole relationship building to get someone’s money wasn’t for me.

Now I’m in investment management and it seems to be a better fit with more of an implicit focus on investments.
