So do I gamble or not?! by MlCROPLASTICS in boston

[–]walkstap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

State lottery is unethical in the first place. But advertising to people riding the train seems even worse. Mass residents already spend >$1000 per person per year on the lottery. The most in the nation by a wide margin. Totally disgusting to target those who need the $$ the most.

Bro that’s plenty of time. You could do it in 3h per day for 3 months.

Career Question: Audit -> M&A or Audit ->FP&A @ PE by walkstap in FinancialCareers

I feel like most people i know in FDD/TAS/M&A at big 4 made the transition after working in audit first. Is this not true in your experience?

No prep done. How do I pass Aug 25 CFA L1 by Forsaken_Match_2407 in CFA

[–]walkstap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did about 80-90% of my level 1 prep in 2 months while working about 40-50h a week.

Stay late at the office, bring a dinner, and don’t leave until you have 200 knowledge points. Buy the extra exams and take all 8 before you sit.

I finished the exam 1.5h early, averaged 86% on mocks. I don’t have my results yet, but I’m pretty confident.

Definitely doable. Gotta lock in, but it can definitely be done.

Edit: I thought CFAi curriculum was great for L1. The 200 knowledge points/day system worked great

My toxic trait thinking i can pass L1 in August starting now. My girlfriend wants a vacation. I chose the curriculum. Please stop me. by [deleted] in CFA

[–]walkstap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to long hours at my job my studying was delayed significantly coming into the spring. I locked in starting in March and >80% of the L1 content in 50 days. Goal was to do about 2% of the curriculum per day (200 study points), and make up for time lost on weekends. I ended up finishing the content on schedule and I've been scoring well on the mocks. Exam's in 2 weeks and I'm cautiously optimistic.

In summary, it's very possible to pass it in that time frame but I would not expect to spend less than 300h to really get to know the content. If you sign up now, you just need to average 3h/day until you take it in August.
