Hey guys,
I realize for all you folks in the industry (working in asset management, wealth management etc) L3 will be easier than the first two levels because its what you superstars do on a day to day basis. I am in public accounting myself (yes, I hate it - which is why I am doing the CFA so I can get out of here hopefully) and passing L1 and L2 on the first try was hard enough, with busy season between Jan and March. Any of you folks in similar situations? How are you attacking L3?

I’m in equity research. It’s much different than anything I do, but still sort of interesting!作者: dotamasta 时间: 2013-4-7 08:07

I just got into equity research a month ago, I have 5 months to get my 3 series licenses (exempt from Series 86 since I passed L2!) and with the new job and workload, I may have to give up on passing L3 this year..作者: sameeragarwal 时间: 2013-4-7 08:09
we know we know greengrape, you seem to point this out in EVERY post you write.作者: Daniel1985 时间: 2013-4-7 08:10
Yes, I’m not in the industry and having passed 1&2 first go, failed L3 last year.
I think this was a mix of not doing enough work , and the content being much more focussd on on portfolio management, which may aid the guys who do it for a living. I have to say I find it hard to get motivated by the L3 content.
I also need to escape from a job I don’t enjoy, so am putting the hours in this time round - like actually reading the CFAI curriculum for instance.作者: bluejazzy 时间: 2013-4-7 08:11
Yes. I’m going on my 4th year as a receptionist. I’m attacking Level III with the hope of getting a job that doesn’t require me to clean up coffee spilled by trash retail brokers. I’m going to own those piles of crap someday… . . unless I fail level III… … .
Finding the material very tough to internalize.作者: Wendy01 时间: 2013-4-7 08:12
i’m in pub accounting too.
L3 is definitely tougher - if you are like me, the L1 and L2 accounting was an easy 20% or so, no shortcuts this time.作者: cyber21 时间: 2013-4-7 08:13
