My career isn’t going to hinge on the CFA to prove and validate my worthiness. It’ll just be a slight addition to the entire package
Vandy, what do you currently do? Are you still a student? Serious question.
And you want to be my latex salesman…
I’ve given itera a lot of grief over the years, but this time I think he’s right to just call it in black and white.
My Linkedin says “CFA v MBA, B$D”
Is that money or what!
Nice… at least some good is coming out of this…
Needs to be more impactfull. Do this
CFAvMBA, CFA, 8======D
Im a final semester MBA student doing a part time side job
Big seinfeld fan. Like the post
You two are hinging your responses on the fact that im only a lowly level 1 candidate and thus my opinion isnt worthy. How would your responses be different if I was a CFA Charterholder?
No we’re not. You still don’t get it
This. Except, for me, to be accurately scaled I would need several orders of magnitude more equal signs.
I really don’t pay attention to whether someone is a lowly level 1 candidate or not. I pay attention to whether what you say makes any sense and what level of informedness about the world it reflects.
I was a lowly level 1 candidate at one point too. I was still smart and accomplished and able to make a decent argument about things, I just didn’t know all that much about investing at the time, and (in my case) my candidacy status accurately reflected this.
Yes you are. You have already mentioned twice how I havent accomplished anything and am thus, jealous. If I was a CFA Charterholder, that argument would not be applicable
Try to figure out how many of these apply to what you just wrote:
Vandy, tell us about your life. You seem like a frustrated guy and maybe we can help.
Art, I think you should submit to the conventional wisdom of the AF community on this one. You are young and would be wise to listen to seasoned professionals on the matter.
My LinkedIn profile has my name as _Bill Campbell III, CFA _, my headline as Investment Analyst, Teacher, Magician, and my profile picture as a horse.
Clearly, I’m doing something (many things?) wrong.
I understand it is conventional to do the CFA after the name, Im not arguing that it isnt. My point this whole time was that I simply wasnt a fan of it and it makes me not want to take part.
Yes, I am frustrated. I feel like I have myself a solid resume, albeit somewhat hacksaw, and yet I havent landed a job yet with only 4 months until graduation from my MBA
