time off work before, putting, everyone, next

Palantir

how much time off work is everyone taking in the next 2 wks?

At best, I can take the last 2 days before exam off..really putting a damper on my studying..stupid markets

2 weeks off would be glorious..I would be much more confident about the exam.

Brent Favre - "We get 5 extra days off as a perk when we sit for a CFA exam." Me too!
So colleagues think I'm wasting leave, but I didn't bother explaining the perk.

I can't wake up these days. Last night I tried to sleep earlier (i.e. 00:30 as oppposed to 01:30) but I still woke up past 08:00! I didn't even hear my alarm clock! I can normally get up at 06:15/06:30. I even halted my running to save energy for this month. Why why why am I so tired?

We get 5 extra days off as a perk when we sit for a CFA exam. Pretty generous, I know. I use them to take Fridays off all May. I've got a 4-day weekend coming up (Friday off and Monday off for Memorial Day) so I should be able to crank then. Next week, I'll take Friday off, but that will be pretty light...going over my formula sheets, brushing up on Ethics/GIPS, etc.

Some here use their 5 days to take the week before off, but I can't cram it all in like that. I lose focus after a few days in a row.

1morelevel, I seem to be suffering the same phenomeon today!! Hope I snap out of it soon so I can get some good time in tonight.

I'll be off starting this Friday... not sure yet what I'll do with myself that whole time but I'm guessing a lot of practice exams and review sessions.

taking the week off. I only get 3 weeks vacation and no money to go anywhere.

10 - 15hrs/day..wow, that's something. I can't be productive after 8 hrs..probably closer to 6 if I was reading something crappy (which is pretty much anything on L3)

LOL. That reminds me I haven't had a chance to watch last week's episode of the Office...
