For those signing up for Level 3, what pathway is everyone taking?

Foreign LLM student here. I plan to take the NY bar exam in February. I’m thinking of taking a bar prep course (most likely Barbri). They offer two options: the “traditional” course (which lasts around 2.5 months) and an extended 6-month course. The difference in price is substantial – 2.5k for the traditional course vs 6k for the extended one. Any thoughts/recommendations on which one I should take? In case it is helpful, I come from a civil law country. Thanks!

Hi everyone!! This is exactly the group I've been looking for. I'll be starting my new (and first) consulting job at ZS Associates at the end of the month and I'm so nervous that I'll crash and burn. I'm very proud to be an ENFP, but the flaws that come along with it (distraction, procrastination, disorganization) seem like a recipe for disaster. I'm not sure if I should spend this next month trying to change my habits or if I should just embrace it. Anyway, what advice do you all have?

Public finance exit opps?

Hi everyone,
Past the first meet and greet-interview, now scheduled for the next one- any idea what to expect considering I am transitioning from a clinical focus role to a non clinical focus role as an Business Analyst.Any feedback will be highly appreciated.
With thanks!

I’m worried that my voice, communication style, and body language comes across as too effeminate for our straight clients and peers. I’m transitioning to sales now and am insecure that my personality and appearance may hinder sales gen? Client industry is very old school. Can LGBT partners//Ds/MDs chime in how they managed the same transition?

When an agency is about to hire you as a creative lead but without seeing your book to find out what you had done in your career, is that a red flag to you as a creative?

Hello everyone,

If you know about DBS in capgeminigar please share your inputs how it is in terms of technology and growth for micro services profile with 6years of experience

Can the group members please share their experience about the CFE exam? How many days of preparation does it require? What are some of the useful study resources?

For the CFE, did you do anything in addition to the ACFE prep course? The course is just practice questions, so I’m wondering where I can actually learn the information first before that.

Hello All! I m currently working in Amazon as transportation specialist for past 3 years. I have cleared CA-IPCC in 2014 and internship in 2017 but i never wrote CA-Final. Currently I m preparing for M.com so that i can write CPA next year as my CA is on hold. I want to study softwate certification courses like SAP. Please suggest me which one i should consider

I’m struggling with the automation tasks I’m given (primarily Excel) but don’t exactly know what programming skills I’m missing to go learn them.

Looking to transition to a new career, possibly to SWE. I have a physical science background with some student loan debt. Before I dive into more student loans, I wanted to check out some Software Engineering boot camps....

Any recommendations? What's your personal experience? Are they worth paying, or is college the way?

Has anyone been CSA or CIS certified for Servicenow?

If I have an offer on Networking Control plane domain and Dataplane domain which one should I chose for better career prospects?

Any recommended books to read prior to beginning a summer associate position? Transactional/ Corporate & Finance

I recently took up a Customer Success Manger role at a engineering software company. Previously I was a Project Manager at the same company but wanted to move out of my engineering services role. I primarily took this role hoping to get exposure to providing SaaS services as company is transitioning at software cloud. My long term goal is to move into tech as my current customers are mostly in O&G. Is customer success a good entry point go get into one for the big tech companies?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

COVID-19... Curious what LA BigLaw thinks about the possibility of Diploma Privilege or a postponed bar exam here in CA? NY decided to postpone despite significant potential consequences (see thread)

Has anyone signed a contract to work for X amount of years with the government and then broken that contract? Are there repercussions? The contract was two sentences that said I would work for X years. That’s it. I cannot find any information online about what happens if you hate your new job so much that you quit. Anyone?

FDD/TAS Senior > Restructuring (Rx) analyst or associate (FAS/Banking) - Has anyone seen it done before? Would starting from Valuation instead of FDD be a better stepping stone to Rx banking. Also, I would imagine the best Rx banking exit would be to HL. Is FTI Rx (FAS) considered better than EY-P Restructuring consulting? How about compared to AM Rx (FAS). Thanks for any input!

It's been 3 week with CTS (cognizant). After HR discussion HR said wait for offer letter but no offer letter yet.
YOE 9
Expected CTC 27Lpa
Current 20LPA
Did i ask too much?? Will congnizant not approve my Expected CTC? HR is not picking up what to do?

Between Cognizant/Xoriant/TSYS/Odessa which one is better? I have joining next month. Odessa offering highest then TSYS. Confused between these two..

How do you handle the next day after being up until 4am the night before on a deal? My other deal teams don’t know I was up so late, but obviously I’m going to be much slower in the morning. It sounds whiny to say “sorry for the delay I was up all night” when everyone else is also so busy...

What is the salary range for an associate manager at Tredence having 6 yrs experience

Currently in Risk Assurance but have the opportunity to transfer into Deals & Strategy. Which one is better for a career long term?

What is meant by a "Lateral Hire" in Infosys?

Anyone have experience working at stepstone?

NYC struggles: 1st paycheck to rent, 2nd to pay off credit cards. Almost none for savings. Maybe it's time to rethink my lifestyle of drinks and debauchery ✌️

Do you prefer servicing large multinationals or small US entities on Privacy?

Anyone stay at the W Costa Rica? Planning a trip to Costa Rica and trying to decide between that and the all inclusive Westin right next door.

Anyone else work in ediscovery? Looking to move from the US to UK and have questions about the industry in the UK.

Well there are more people on my floor this weekend

Anyone else doing the level 1 CFA final review with Kaplan? It’s like a workshop from the 22-24th?

Nothing like losing an entire day of studying because Kaplan was down all day yesterday. Make sure you download the QBank for offline use, seems like this keeps happening on Sunday for some reason.

Anyone feeling ready? I'm on LIII and have yet to take a mock ...

I think it went okay

My company reimburses CFA exam fees if I clear level the exam and if I stay in the firm for 2yrs from reimbursement date. I don’t wish to be here for 2yrs. . Can i still apply for CFA scholarship?

Any recommendations to get through L2 FSA? The materials are so dry....

Thinking of getting a CFA; would appreciate recommendations on test prep providers.

Has anyone successfully deferred their exam for the august window? If I defer now can I sit the exam in November?

Seriously need to up the study game rn

Has everyone just stopped studying and pushed away their books after the exam delay announcement?

Guys, is it possible to do the CFA without having a bachelor's degree, just with 10+ years of work experience in Banking and Brokerage???

How early do you start studying for Level 3? And is it harder than level 2? I’m a little nervous since there’s a written part now.

Rescheduled my Level 1 exam from December to February. I’m worried that changing the date will means I need to buy new study materials, but how much of the curriculum could actually change? It seems like it should be the same.

I got 2021 CFA level 1 materials from Kaplan last year. Am I okay using that to study if I plan on taking the test in February, or do I have to plan on buying new materials again?

Should I still take L2 in Dec or push it to next May? 4.5 hrs in front of a computer sounds way better than 6 hrs filling in bubbles

Taking L1 on December 5 (if it’s not cancelled before then). I’m extremely nervous & do not feel ready at all. Any advice on how to make the most of this last month?

Is it true the Feb exams are being postponed now?

Anyone got Wiley material and how was your experience with it ?
