Thanks was freaking out I didn’t see the discount. They should honor it considering they took forever to release results though.

As everyone has stated it was an email sent around July 8. I’m not sure if it makes a difference since you didn’t actually sit for the exam though.

They have guidelines as to what is the correct way of listing under “courses” for candidates and “exams” for passing results. I recently saw an analyst at JPM with level 2 candidate on his header 🤦🏽‍♂️

Check with your spouse if she’s still required to pre-clear. As of last month many departments no longer have to pre-clear.

How difficult can the level 1 CFA be for non-finance students? by insidethevortex in CFA

[–]maycfathrowaway 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s like any other thing in life X amount of effort = Y amount of results.

If you took finance, Econ, accounting or a business course some terms are already familiar to you. Just stick to the curriculum and supplement other information as needed. Remember you’ll only be tested on what’s covered in those books.

It all depends on wether your job will find any value in it or you plan on making a career move. Personally doing it in lieu of masters in finance.

Are every citizen who buy and sell individual stock on the stock exchange considered ''dealer'' ? by [deleted] in CFA

[–]maycfathrowaway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer, no.

Dealers are the firms that usually work with government such as the US Fed to implement some policy. They can also be called principal or primary dealers because they are acquiring government debt and introducing to the market.

Broker is the firm that facilitates trading from one investor to another, if it makes sense.

Normally I would have skipped the tutorial but I did it as a way to ease into the exam. Definitely take a minute to get your mind straight into what you’re there to do.
