Hi fishes! Have you watched the video from Tim's email? A few questions from the video - - Who all come under the Specialist to Director category? Does it include Associates and Senior Associates as well? - The video did not mention about ppl in probation period. Is the 5% increase applicable for folks who joined recently as well? - Is the 5% increase applicable only on base pay or gross pay? Thanks in advance! PwC PwC India Pwc sdc

Currently have the FRM title.
I failed CFA level 3 once.

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?
