CFA being hard

[Griingo]

@ltj

Context is everything.

If someone is voluntarily offering up that they are taking the CFA exam and it’s really hard in attempt to garner sympathy or for his or her audience to be impressed… douche.

On the other end of the spectrum, if someone is trying to downplay the difficulty of the CFA exam to put themselves on some intellectual pedestal… douche.

I always find it so cute that people from developing countries are so obsessed with the topic studied at undergrad level. It seems related to the fact that people from developing countries are also overly focused on gaining letters vs actually developing personally or planning a career trajectory. In the the UK you study whatever you like and nobody really cares.

“I must study Politicks and War that my sons may have liberty to study Mathematicks and Philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematicks and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, musick, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelaine.” John Adams

Sounds like John Adams should’ve learnt to spellk.

Studying for the CFA exams is like getting into a relationship with a hot, but extremely needy girlfriend that’s promising anal. Starts off sounding like a great idea; you think it’s what you want; you’ve heard a lot about it; you get all excited and may get a quick win with a finger in the bum [or level one]…but then the honeymoon period quickly subsides. The perks almost seem like it’s not worth it considering the huge time suck it is, you give up so much of who you are but you keep telling yourself it’ll get better. Your friends haven’t heard from you in a while, but you keep telling them it’s worth it. You have that juicy carrot being dangled in front of you. You’re visualizing how great it will be to finally get in there, to join the club…unfortunately, many won’t make it; they just give up. ‘Fcuk the tush!’ they say. For those that stick it out - are ‘disciplined’ enough to put up with the process - they get the tush in the end…and you know what? some will love the tush and some will say it’s not all its cracked up to be…either way, their efforts are admirable.

Arrrr, the CFA is a harsh mistress, arrrrr. She’s a hard bitch to pull down, and will abuse many a man. Only 1/6 will go all the way with her, and she’ll take an average of 4 years and 1 failed attempt to go all the way with. Arrrr.

At a job interview with a local investment bank I bragged out (in an ethical manner) about my CFA L3 candidacy and my solid intention of becoming a FRM. Instead, he told me he studied 3 days for CFA L1 and passed, and a month for L2 and passed. He wasn’t CFA charterholder btw.

I think he is better than you, so don’t bother too much, my non-white brother

Bleron was the Sandy Koufax of AF. All he needed was a few hundred posts to make the AF. A true legend.

I had to look up this bleron. I’ve been here a while, but I guess I had never come across this. There must be some kind of issue with the older history of the site. He’s referenced back to 2007-8, but I could only find posts of his in 2009 and people are already referring to him as a legend.

So he’s famous from the CFA boards? That’s disappointing, for some reason.

[Isaiah_53_5]

Yeah I find this type of bragging about studying X amount of hours similar to high school. There was always that one student getting As on the tests that bragged about barely cracking the books. But, much like a duck cruising through water, below the surface their feet are paddling like hell.

All in all bragging about how little one studied for any exam is quite elementary. Life is all about results, not effort.
