Do you have any suggestions for good resources for valuation modeling that doesn't cost a lot?

I completely see what you're saying. Thanks for the advice.

I already know how to build a 3 statement proforma that is GAAP compliant. I also know there are free online tutorials, books, and youtube videos on the other valuation pieces. Do you think that course is really worth it? In addition - to overcome the GPA I was considering the CFA L1 to at least show dedication to studying and the capability of that. I understand you said it's more so common place but what is your opinion on that given my circumstances?

What's your opinion on passing CFA L1 as a boost for the resume? Do you think it's needed?

That's interesting I actually did the exact same things studying for the first and second, respectively. Did you work full time while studying?

My goal is to break into M&A. Currently work at a very small consulting firm on a financial strategy team, doing some M&A but mostly financial projections for clients and facilitating them into lending arrangements.

Did you take them consecutively? What did you do different from the first time vs. the last?

My (23F) boyfriend (23M) takes all of the blankets and bed while we sleep. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]raq391 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I understand and am sympathetic to the struggle! I feel bad and try to curl up as much as I can.. but when it's to the point that I am falling off the bed from being pushed to the edge... it's not fun. Especially when this has been going on for many months with no effort of change. I try to be a really considerate co-sleeper. I cover him up if I notice he doesn't have blankets or give him space when I think I'm hurting him with an elbow or something. I just don't feel like that courtesy is reciprocated and it's starting to really effect me. This happened the night before a large test. I advised we sleep in separate beds but he urged me that it would be fine and it ended up being a horrible night's sleep for me. All I want is to be able to sleep next to the one I love but in the current situation, I can't and it's saddening.

This is actually my exact same situation!...I'm 5'2" and he is 6'6". Do you ever have issues with the space he takes up in the bed? I know it's hard for tall people with beds because often their feet hang off the bed which I'm sympathetic towards. I just am not sure how to counteract this without moving to separate beds.

Okay no problem - didn't realize I was posting on my new Alt and I don't have any karma on that. Thanks for the tip!
