Look for a company that guarantees you will pass or they pay the retest fee. These companies teach a method to pass the test that works. I used pmstudy.com, but they’ve switched to a SCRUM/Agile only focus.

You don't need reputable, you just need the hours and the books. Do the cheapest online class you can find.

Lots of phone apps with practice quizzes to learn

What company are you with? Deloitte offers the course and reimburses the fee for your first attempt

Small boutique that will pay for class + test

Hey gang. If you exited BL or are looking to exit, where did you go and, more importantly, how did you figure out the path? I sometimes feel like career steps after BL for most associates are organic and less deliberate. But I’m lost with where to go next with my career. Entering fourth year PE M&A associate. Ready to leave.

Need career advice. Trying to break into a finance role, preferably an Analsyt role but I have no transferable experience. I worked as a mortgage loan officer (which is sales) for 2 years after college, but since mortgage is such a niche industry, no hard skills transfer and have no relevant undergrad internships unfortunately. I know I can essentially get any sales job I want in finance IE: financial advisor etc. but don’t want to be stuck in sales forever. Any advice?
