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.

Hi! I have worked in management roles in tech, mainly in analytics, for approximately 10 years. My TC has fluctuated (currently around 135K CAD), but it seems like it's relatively easy to breach the 100K bar, but hard to breach the 150K bar. I now work at the CBC, but I have worked in the private sector too. What is the most realistic way to move to 200K? 1) Continue moving the ladder to a VP position, 2) Switch to Pre-Sale, 3) Switch to Consulting, 4) Work from a U.S. company from Canada.

It's time now I guess. Going back to India permanently. Came to Canada for my MBA but couldn't get a job. I have prior IB exp and CFA & CPA. Did a free PE internship for 5 months. Stay safe !

Worried because of my salary at my current company I am pricing myself out of opportunities to move into a rep agency that could eventually give me the opportunity to buy into it. I’m currently almost topping out on my salary at current company with no opportunity to progress. Can make good money for a while here, but new challenge is interesting to me. Struggling accepting I may have to cut my salary 10k-20k in order to do that…

Third year associate at an AmLaw 100 firm (non Frag or BAL, but doesn’t pay market), and I feel that growth is severely limited in this field.

Currently a program manager but not sure if I want to stay as one long term. Curious what other common paths people go into after project management?

I am considering switching careers from architecture to UX design or Product Management, and am unsure about which route I want to take. Is it common for someone to switch between UX and PMing within the same company? If so is it common in both directions? Wondering if I can have a second chance at adjusting my job again later if I change my mind down the road

Is anyone on here in Product Management at Google? If so what are the most exciting products to work on right now? Also, I used to be at Salesforce, and wondering how PM roles compare to PMM at Google

Can someone give a time sense for an average prep time for CSCP certification versus CPIM? I think CPIM takes much longer but not sure

Does anyone have the 2020 SHRM books for sale or to borrow? My job won’t contribute towards my certification. I’ve already paid for my test. I have the books from 2015 but I’d like to study from the 2020. I tried finding them online to purchase but sellers of affordable books aren’t responding.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Jr. Associate at an AmLaw 100 firm in Central Florida. Good credentials; top 10% at T14, law review. Sick of private practice bc of hours and pressure. Also, not enjoying the work that Central Florida offers, but want to live here.

I want to one day have my own firm. Trying to think outside the box on how to get the experience w/o being in big law for ten years.

Thinking of applying to be an ASA and to the FL AGO. Would like trial experience or civil rights/con law work.

Thoughts appreciated!

How do you get into AB testing? I’m in data science would like to get that experience.

I’m a rising sophomore studying finance at Indiana University. Im currently applying for investment management internships for the 2023 summer but I haven’t fully decided what path of investment management I want to pursue. My two interests are either Equity Research or Sales and Trading. If anyone is currently in an analyst role like this or has been in the past can you comment your experience with it and what overall made you decide this job was for you?

I have got an offer of CTC 23.25LPA +JB +RSU in Blore. And I have also got an international offer of CTC € 70000 + relocation sponsorship in a mid sized firm in Vienna, Austria.

My wife works with a CTC of 15LPA in Blore.

I am in dilemma about the option that is most suitable for me as my wife would have to quit her current job and relocate and then find another job. Is it a profitable deal to relocate to Austria?

Kindly post your opinions.

What do when you’ve already accepted a job offer but then received a better offer? Does it look bad on you to decline the first offer?

Idk if I should continue working on the challenge... wtf any advice?

Where do you keep your non-library original components in Figma? Do you put them to the side outside of a working frame, within its own “Components” page (like Sketch does for Symbols), or do you keep the original directly inside of one of your layouts?

Anyone here at Nunwood?

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

I come from a design-heavy background and have been guilty in the past of over-emphasizing aesthetics. What do you think is the proper balance with functionality? How do you think through this?

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

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

What’s the best CFA study material?

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.

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.

Want to give myself a whole year to prep for L2 to prevent burning out with studies & work - wise or dumb plan?

What’s the best course for CFA level 2? Kaplan vs Wiley or Fitch learning? Thanks

Has anyone without any financial experience taken the CFA? I work in a different industry and I want to take the CFA in order to get hired into a bank. Has anyone done it?

Anyone have any feedback or review on level 2 prep providers- I learn better by watching videos than by reading.
Mark meldrum vs Princeton review vs Nathan ronen

Seriously need to up the study game rn

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

How’s everyone feeling about the exam postponement? I’m bloody gutted

I’m tutoring levels 1-3 and eager to assist. Dm me. Wharton mba cfa

Do I have enough time to pass the L1 CFA if I take it in February? Haven’t started yet.

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???

Well there are more people on my floor this weekend

Is it true the Feb exams are being postponed now?

Screw CFA lol

My employer has a sponsorship program that the CFA qualifies for. They sponsor 100% but only after 6 months of full-time permanent employment; thus I will qualify in may 2023 (I just started). Should I wait for may for them to pay, or pay the initial costs myself to avoid delaying my career longer? I'm 26 & 1/4th and just graduated college. My new role and future career aspirations are finance / computer engineering hybrid. Current employer is in private banking.
