I'm 31, working in a middle office role at an asset management firm, and my career aspirations lie in equity research or portfolio analysis. While my manager has suggested pursuing the IOC and IMC certifications, I'm leaning towards the CFA due to its perceived higher-level relevance to my goals. I know it requires time commitment and with family planning on the horizon, I don't know if starting the CFA at my age is still a viable path. I'm looking for advice from anyone who has completed CFA.

My fiancée almost lost her life to a medical emergency. The doctor needed me to stay home 2 weeks to supervise her post-operative care once the hospital discharged her.

One professor removed me from a graded argument the week after I’d return. When I asked about this error, he had said “I had planned on your failure to appear” and that he preplanned giving me a 0 grade.
