want to make my career in investment banking,actually, I could just give barely 2 months if I say I studied with complete focus,but is that enough with not having finance credential in acedamics? I used to give 15 hours to my job that includes 5-6 hours of travelling as well and that too in crowdy buses(I even tired to get some study in that atmosphere too).

Nowadays I don’t get to travel, so that means valuable time saving as compared to earlier for me,therefore,I thought of giving it one more chance.

buddy! can u advise me a study plan on how to go this time.I couldn’t complete studying ebooks from CFA institute in my first attempt.Also I couldn’t make make full use of Kaplan notes as I couldn’t revise it the way I was required to.I know I must give atleast 400-500 hours of study,but,I always feel,your destination is not more important than the path you choose to go ahead.you have passed this L1 stage,tell me what I must do this time to crack it.

buddy, CFA and IB don’t jive - they could care less

You can use either could or couldn’t. Using could is not grammatically incorrect as it is an idiom. Idioms don’t always follow logic, as phrases are used colloquially.

ya bankers generally don’t do CFA as it is a different field altogether as far as commercial banking is concerned, I’m planning to do it as I want to quit my current field as here you don’t have ample of oppurtunities.going for the dec.L1 I do have enough time to prepare but just need the correct way of study schedule and that too with correct momentum to go though this time.I’m aged 32 now, so want to switch as soon as possible, don’t want to wait for long.how did you prepare for L1 and are you from finance background?Kaplan notes or IFT, which one is better?

Before you follow the CFA path, might I recommend an alternative instead?

If you get CFA you will get a job in investment banking. Think about it.

[dhiren01]

it’s not just that I’ll get a job in investment banking as I’m already employed,CFA to me is a door opener to wealth management, after gaining working knowledge,I believe, I would have good scope of oppurtunities.

^ Don’t take things so seriously here. Pokhim was being sarcastic. CFA has nothing to do with IB.

Hello to everyone who still remembers me

My advice to OP is that, if you don’t have time to study for L1, how do you find time to do L2 and L3?

anyone of opinion between kaplan schweser or IFT for CFA L1 dec.17 which one is better? what should be the correct sequence to go through all the volumes,as from a non-finance background, do I need to give more emphasis on text books before getting on to some preparation provider notes

I personally used Schweser and found it helpful (YMMV). With a non-finance background, start with FRA (financial reporting and analysis) and budget a lot of time studying it. Follow that up with Quantitative methods, because the discounted cash flow analysis will help you understand Fixed Income and Equities better. Econ, Corporate Finance and Portfolio Management can come next (no preference on order). Ethics is super important but can be handled in the end because it requires just memorization and practice. Alt investments is easy (and has only a few questions).
