2 YOE in healthcare consulting going back to school for a Master’s in Finance. Plan on getting CFA, Series 7 and 66 post-grad. Looking to break into PE. Is getting experience as a BB IB analyst a “necessary evil” prior to going buy-side for the long run?

Idk what healthcare consulting is but consultants that switched to pe usually had dd experience. IB is just the easiest way in. CFA, series exams, and mfin won’t help at all for pe

Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?

I’ve been with my bf for 18 months and we have not said ‘I love you’ to one another. I keep hearing about how the best/healthiest relationships are a slow burn, you’re friends first, grow to love each other, etc. I’ve never been in a relationship as emotionally slow as this one. It feels like we are friends who sleep together. I can’t tell if it’s healthy or if we just have no emotional spark. Idk... I feel like wanting romance is not a bad thing, right?

I was wondering if the review course “CPE Self Study Course” for the CFF was enough preparation to study and pass the CFF exam. The CFE review course was enough and like if you get a question wrong it explains it well so that when it comes up in a different way in the real exam you can still get it. But when I saw the outline for the CFF material and there seems to be a lot of topics so I was wondering if the review course was sufficient considering this exam is also multiple choice. Thanks!
