Wow.
Passed Level I on my first shot in 2000 (that was a mistake, LOL)
I passed Level II in 2003 on my 3rd attempt (at the time, I didn't know *anybody* that hadn't passed on their 2nd try)
Sat for LIII in 2004
took off 2005
Sat again in 2006 and 2007
Decided grad school might be a good distractor, sat out 2008 and 2009
Here I am. 2010.
This is the first time I'm taking it with the distribution of banded grades, so I don't even know where I'd fall. My guess is that in 2004 I was band 6, and maybe by 2006 or 2007, I was a band 10. No clue though obviously.
I keep telling myself that this is the last time I'm taking this. I've posted this before, but I'm 34 years old now. When I started the program, I was young and would kill for some ER experience - now I can't afford an entry level job. In this economy, nobody is going to hire a 34 year old with no experience in ER.
I've spent hours on end on LinkedIn looking at peoples profiles and see people with Chicago, Wharton MBA's, CFA charters, and last employed in February 2008. If you are *lucky* CFA will open a door for you.
The latest thing I've come across is "Passed all three levels of CFA exams, awaiting charter pending work experience". Wow. Just a few years ago, that type of person would have been snapped up in a matter of weeks, maybe a month.
I'm married now, and my wife is nearing her wits end to get this over with. Almost every day now I hear a "I can't wait for CFA to be over with". (Of course that's an ethics violation, but she's not a candidate! LOL).
I guess I just want closure now. I'm not a flipping quitter, and I hate to be labeled as such. |
