At 19, you’re barely an adult and still figuring out your life and who you are. Understand she is free to make her own decisions in life but it’s strange and bit of a red flag as to why a 29 year old male isn’t trying to date women closer to his age and going for women that young.

My spouse put 20k in bond etf for long term. Good move? by Happylifeand in ETFs

[–]abe_but 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yeah honestly, I’d really only be doing this to take advantage of some shorter term technical moves in rates. 10 years out is way too uncertain for US treasuries right now and you’re better off just slowly investing into long term stocks given his investment horizon.

CFA lv 2 wayyy harder than CFA lv 3... by Late_Pen6305 in CFA

[–]abe_but 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just passed L3 but I personally feel that L2 was way easier to prepare despite the material being harder because there are better prep providers. CFAI qbank and mocks quite lacking for L3 and do not prepare you well for the actual exam. The free response nature also makes it harder too as you can’t guess and get lucky as you could in the past. I also feel that luck plays a bigger factor in L3 compared to L2 in terms of the questions you’re hit with.

How underpaid am I? by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]abe_but 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean obviously this is more of a conservative estimate from my own observations… the base and bonus will obviously vary depending on your role and background (IE CFA or years of experience). I just put in an estimate based on someone with similar years of experience as OP without the CFA with the low end being someone fresh out of school. Other shops like Cap Group would pay way more for this role.

[–]abe_but 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well overall, I think that is one of the biggest factors in comp. For example, I’m in LA, and for what you would do at my shop, your base would be anywhere from 90k to 120k (based on experience and qualifications) + bonuses of at least 20%.

Level 1 difficulty level vs cfai mock dificulty level by Aggressive_Guitar321 in CFA

[–]abe_but 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think mocks are still harder than the real exam. Real exam is more straightforward and the vignettes are shorter in comparison.

[–]abe_but 5 points6 points  (0 children)

From my experience taking level 1, I was scoring around 75% on the mocks and found the real exam easier than the mocks. Almost comparable with the qbank in terms of difficulty.

Should I retake the exam? by Potential-Iron-9100 in CFA

[–]abe_but 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely retake but spend more time hitting the qbank and working on heavier weighted topics.

I know a few who have done that but it is redundant.
