8 licenses and the series 24 was the hardest for me. You really just have to put the time into studying.

That exactly was the hardest part for me, the memorization because some of the rules made absolutely no sense when applied to the real world, appreciate the advice!

At least you got it done! How many tries for 66 and what did you do differently the time you passed?

Just dump everything else from your memory - childhood, high school, university, your other half - and only fill it with everything you'll need to know for the exams. It is so much memorization.

Does anyone here work for any public accounting firms in the Charlotte area with a decent work life balance? I am looking to go somewhere where I can focus on a few clients for longer periods of time rather than constantly bouncing around. I find it much less stressful to put in longer hours if it's a client that I have been scheduled on long term.

I'm hoping to eventually do CAIA, but only after I'm done with CFA. I'm also hoping to do non-financial certifications, like Certified analytics professional (CAP), and learn about web development.

While I may have the title of manager, I am still an individual contributor. The type of work I do involves quantitative analysis/data analysis/science.

Any suggestions as to what I should start with?
