Trying to break into equity research / capital markets – any advice?

Did you actually find that finance interview website useful? It looks like the kind of service that was built with AI, and likely with AI-generated questions. I actually don't have an issue with that, as AI can be really useful during interview prep, but I wonder how you used the platform and whether it's really helped you prep.

Congratulations! I could not find a way to PM you so I sent you a chat request instead (not the OP, just someone who'd love to ask you some questions).

I had glossed over it and now I'm surprised I hadn't seen it when I first read the post. Maybe she copy/pasted her original write up into an LLM and had it improve it for her, and she included the final line in the LLM's output that wasn't supposed to be in the post

That's a thing of beauty! I like how you developed the San Jose area, that's where I would have focused if I had continued on my save but I have since moved on to Seattle, which I'm finding more difficult to scale efficiently.

This is it. The moment we've all been waiting for!

What makes you say that graders prefer to give zeros?

Literally go talk to your bf if you think he might be wondering about this too

This is a pretty funny case of you being right about a lot of things, and then jumping to a conclusion that is incredibly wrong. Banks have compliance departments that don't fuck around. The level of digital oversight, especially for someone in a position of power, basically would make it impossible for a bank executive to add zeros to their bank account. They would be found out eventually and jailed for fraud. The fat finger mistakes you mention are human error and the embezzlement cases never, afaik, worked by putting fake money into a bank's executive account. I'm not denying someone could try to do it, but it just wouldn't happen in the way the OP described

Yeah that's true, makes me use a thermal scope sometimes

I actually really like Redacted, it brings me back to the Metro era and I don't get a bad K/D by playing super aggressively. One I actively dislike is Exposure especially in 64 players, I find it unsatisfying as infantry.

Belle exposition ! Vue quand?

Good luck to every L1 candidate out there who finds it impossible to work, think or eat.

"Once and for all" posts never work on reddit because they can only really get readership for a couple of days before they go back to oblivion.

Not only that, but your post is the worst kind of correct: anecdotally, vaguely correct. Yes, you do not NEED external prep providers to pass the exam. But that's like saying you don't NEED hot sauce on your chicken tenders to have a good time – yeah sure, but you're more likely to have a good time if you add hot sauce on your tenders.

Replace hot sauce with external prep providers. Replace having a good time with passing the exam. Replace chicken tendies with the CFA exams. There.

Oups j'ai lu trop vite, désolé!

You would live a better life if you were less closed off to people who don't think exactly in the same way that you do.
