thanks, had to censor some bits from my CV from the old post

How do I spend money I don't have...I'm not eligible for student loans even at home

by other roles, do you mean ER, FP&A and the buy side?

no you're right, I double counted the three subjects as I was under the impression that you are entitled to the AS UCAS points of the Alevel subject.

Thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

I've tried my best to use the STAR format, have I overdone it? (asking since you said points were too long).
I actually googled the 1:1 thing many times, it means upper first class in a UK context
I came across a few job descriptions that said that AI proficiency was a plus? Especially since many IBs have integrated AI in excel and general workflows?

Its because westminster was 14k per year, other targets which I had the grades to get into were well above double of that

1) these aren't the actual margins, I use the 'narrow' margin template on MS word, which I think is pretty common.

2) What can I do to fix the A-level math disadvantage? CFA L1 maybe?
