Who is hiring?
JPMorgan Chase Did a first round interview for a senior level position at JP Morgan.. hiring manager said I should receive a call back within a couple of weeks.. been over a month.. no intimation post that.. the HR in charge of hiring or scheduling haven’t replied to my emails on what comes next and haven’t scheduled anything. So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase

McKinsey & Company Any advice to help prepare for data science analyst role at top consulting firms (McKinsey & Company EY Boston Consulting Group etc)? Any materials, open source platform recommended to take on freelance data science project? When should I start actively looking and applying? I am a new grad who is working in tech as a marketing analyst I’m looking to pivot to marketing& sales data science consulting next year. Would like someone with similar backgrounds offer some practical tips.

It’s the sole reason I have my CFA today. He is awesome. Probably not needed for L1 but L2 and L3 a necessity

Also there’s a good cfa Reddit would say check that out. Really active and helped me get through it.
Level 3 Candidate here. I am using Mark for Level 3 and used him for Level 2, highly recommend his stuff. Really enjoy his videos for the readings and End of Chapter questions.
I think best part about his prep material is even if you fail and need to rewrite you still have access to it with updated content for the new exam (if any changes by CFAI) and you don’t need to repay unlike other prep providers. You can check out some of his YouTube videos for level I as well a bit older content but most should still be relevant.
If you are just starting to look at CFA understand why you are doing it and if you really want to commit the time required to pass.
Level I I probably studied 300 hours and was fresh out of doing my undergrad in finance.
Level II I probably studied over 400 hours i was delayed 3 times due to covid.
Each level is a grind but it’s achievable given enough time.
No worries i echo the above from associate 1. CFA reddit has a bunch of people who can help you with specific questions on the material if you get stuck or if anything isn’t clicking.
