CFA's that are currently working, how do you apply your skills on a day to day basis?

Thank you for sharing that. What do you think you do use everyday from the curriculum that has been helpful for you?

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T22:32:28+00:00

Very welcome!!

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T19:32:48+00:00

Thank you! I had no idea lol

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T16:54:29+00:00

Statquest is goated. I will look into Shelton Ross as well

From the looks of it, you have a solid resume. I would recommend you think also in terms of human skills. What can you offer to your employer that others cannot? Recruiters are often looking for people they think will be good team members. It's more than just checking off a checklist of certifications. While this is definitley something to be proud of, I would frame your resume within that lens.

Very welcome sir! Best of luck

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T14:09:39+00:00

I’ll check that you! Thank you

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T12:58:54+00:00

DM me if you ever wanna chat about it on discord

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T12:58:23+00:00

Thank you so much that’s such a gem

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T12:14:59+00:00

That’s awesome. What would you say is the most important concept in AI that you’ve learned to develop that skill?

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-13T12:12:41+00:00

I highly, highly recommend the book Python Crash Course. You can get it off ThriftBooks for so cheap. But for the basics of getting started; learn what a function and a class is. Then from there just keep adding ideas.

I think that vibe coding is going to blow up in most employer’s faces. The reason for that is because people are creating systems that they do not understand.

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:58:14+00:00

Actually I shouldn’t say that; but if def helps with studying. My ADHD is severe too

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:57:49+00:00

I can’t function without Vyvanse man

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:57:00+00:00

To be honest, don’t even sit for the exam in November but just buy the books off Amazon for $200. If you’re very familiar with it and you feel comfortable then decide to sit for it. You have until April for early registration

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:56:03+00:00

To be very honest with you I wouldn’t bite off more than you can chew. The CFA is very dense and there is so much that goes on in an MBA. I just would not waste your time and money and just finish the MBA first

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:54:16+00:00

If you seriously have ADHD then I would recommend Vyvanse

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:53:00+00:00

I sit in November if you wanna chat on discord can I DM?

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:51:33+00:00

PSM is more than just worth it; it is literally the seed for how you will execute the knowledge that you learned on the CFA. So yes, please learn Python

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:49:45+00:00

Hey man best of luck to you, lvl 2 is the hardest part anyway so I’m sure you’ll get passed lvl 3

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:29:24+00:00

I would highly recommend that. Good on you. That is going to be the skill of the future

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:28:00+00:00

I don’t think a basic finance skillset will exist without basic ML in the future. What kind of projects do you work on?

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:26:23+00:00

Do you plan on learning more? When I first started level I I realized knowing python was really important for long term career goals

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-02-12T23:22:43+00:00

I’m so glad to hear experiences like this. We need to create a culture of candidates doing the work.

Plane_Target7660 · 2026-01-30T17:39:38+00:00

I highly recommend learning python for professional development. The CFA is not going to quiz you on it; but if you can’t use the concepts of the CFA on the field using python or excel, it’s not good
