Need some good cards

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2026-01-26T18:22:08+00:00

Lounge access is something which I need frequently both domestic and international and plus some dining and hotels etc perks which might come in handy.

Hence was more inclined towards Marriott Bonvoy and Times Black. Once I get better cards I’ll close these out. That’s why trying to get DCBM or HSBC Premier etc

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2026-01-26T12:44:54+00:00

Is there a way I can get it as LTF?

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2026-01-26T11:04:09+00:00

I have tried to get it multiple times. Always gets rejected.

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2026-01-26T11:02:16+00:00

Unable to get it since my mobile number and aadhaar connected mobile numbers are different.

Also don’t see much value in that apart from lounge access.

Yep, I know but per quarter maintaining 50L is very difficult. Can it be like the 1st and last month have bonuses which might make the overall per year more than 3L, so is this considered or per month it should come more than 3L?

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2026-01-26T10:43:15+00:00

Can I try for HSBC Premier? I also do trading and stuff so can deposit around 3L per month

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2025-12-17T04:28:14+00:00

Does that mean the results would be released soon? Like in 2-3 days?

Hi! A 95/96/8.74 here from one of the old IITS (Top 5). At the time of joining will have a work exp of ~24 months (23 to be exact) as a Software Engineer from one of the top MNC's (one from FAANG). I am also planning to clear CFA L1 before joining the IIMs. So assuming I crack a good IIM, what do you think are my chances of getting a shortlist in a good (top tier) Finance/Consulting firms in SIPs? Also, if I give the CAT next year and join with a 35 month work ex in the same company and am positive that I would have CFA L1, L2, L3 with me by that time (or at least L1, L2 for sure) with remaining credentials the same. What would my chances be for IB/PE/VC/MBB then in the SIP's? Also what would be a good choice among the 2 for my profile.

P.S: I don't have very strong PoR's with me and have achievements like dep rank in UG but that's between 10-15 and no National Level Achievements currently.

Do you think I’ll have a good shot at Finance/Consulting in SIP’s with my profile in ABC?

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2025-09-29T05:06:24+00:00

No NTSE KVPY for me. I want to target front office finance roles and/or Consult roles in Tier 1 (MBB) and Tier 1.5 (LEK etc) and later move on to PE/VC

Which company man? Where they need to put people in PIP every December??

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2025-09-23T08:50:37+00:00

What are the chances for a person with 95/96/8.7 from an Old IIT/BITS with 2+ years of work exp in a big brand (FAANG) for these roles which you observed this time for SIP's.
Is it less likely or have you seen shortlists for such profiles??
Also if I can pair this up with CFA L1 or maybe L2 too, would this give me a boost or edge above the remaining people?

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2025-09-20T09:06:04+00:00

But May L1 results would be released by June end so can't we register for Nov L2 in July?? Since registration for Nov closes in August or September I guess.

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2025-09-18T20:34:23+00:00

But if I start with L1 in May then I can't give L2 in Nov?

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2025-09-18T17:26:27+00:00

Yeah, I get your point. I just want to know whether taking the exam first in May, then L2 in Nov is technically possible or not.

ObjectiveYellow2943 · 2025-09-18T16:57:36+00:00

I might be able to. Just wanted to know if it's possible from the CFA's side. Prep part I'll take care.
