I really liked Veritas, especially its Verbal section. Quant was good as well, but my improvement stood out on the Verbal side. Haven’t done Manhattan, so can’t speak to it. I will say that most prep programs aside from Veritas seem to be more focused on Quant improvement

I appreciate the input. Quant is my only major area of "needs improvement" so that's helpful.

Bummer I have a fat coupon for Veritas haha.

Target Test Prep is the gold standard for Quant if you have the time to complete the Expert track. I have never been strong in math and hit a Q49... anyone who completes the course in full and hits the accuracy marks should get a Q47-48

Manhattan

Got me to 780

I did Manhattan self study then a veritas live class so I’ve seen both their materials. I needed help with quant mostly and thought the Manhattan methods were way better. Having said that, the instructor (not the materials) for veritas were awesome.

Hi, guys! This maybe off-topic but wanted to ask this. I’ve accepted an offer from a firm and currently serving my np. My total np is 90 days which I’m serving completely. Had to ask the prospective company to shift my joining by a month. Since there’re still 2 and a half months into joining now I’m always paranoid thinking if offer would be revoked and other negative things like that. This is my first switch so I’m even more stressed. Need some suggestions how to deal with it.

When you leave, does it make a difference to companies if you made it through at least a busy season as a senior or just that you have the title? I did have some experience this year as an A2 where I split some of the senior responsibilities with the manager. However, I’m worried if I leave before busy season, companies will see that as really just being an associate.

Hi everyone, I'm new to Canada and want to start my career here in the Financial and Banking industry. I have passed the CFA level 2 exam and was wondering if I have to complete the Canadian Securities Course (CSC) as most of the job postings here mention about it. I saw that if someone passes at least the CFA level 1 exam then the requirement of CSC is exempted. Can anyone enlighten me about this? As the CSC exam costs above 1000 CAD, I wanted to be sure if I need it before investing behind it.

I don’t feel Queens U is renowned globally (or at least not at the same level as Cornell). Does the partnership dilute the Cornell brand in this particular program?
