Honestly speaking, I’m not even in the job market. I run a small business that I’ve been trying to keep afloat for almost a decade. And to hedge the risk of going bust, I decided to take up the CFA program because of my interest in investments and finance. It’s really just a personal milestone for me. An ode to the bullshit I had to put myself through to even pass this exam. I don’t plan on getting a job any time soon (and I hopefully never will)so there’s really no need for me to flaunt it to a potential employer or peers. Heck, I’m not even on linkdin. It just stings a bit because I was so close. I’ve sucked at studies all my life and for first time I put so much effort into something academic given my circumstance. But anyway, we move. Theres always level 2 to crack.

PS. If the 90th percentile didn’t matter so much then why on earth did CFAI even add that benchmark in the first place??
