    #8: Studying 24/7 and social sacrifice increase humor skills significantly--or at least it makes you think you're funnier because you are now your own BFF. Ha jk, another great vid, thanks AJ.

    Point 6 I couldn’t agree with more. I was impressed with my own ability of how much content I taught myself, sat through, persevered while studying. I just passed the level 1 exam and I felt relieved but also incredibly satisfied with all the effort I put in

    Great video thanks for sharing! I disagree with that last one. For me studying created an unbreakable discipline that allowed me to workout, eat healthier and sleep better than ever before. Don’t think I could have passed by not taking care of myself in the ways you mentioned.

    Hi guys, I just passed level 1 and I’m considering two options of what two do next:
    1. Enroll level 2 for November 2021 or,
    2. Taking a 6 month course about financial structured products.
    I’d appreciate your thoughts on this, I’ve heard that CFA level 2 has the most difficult part of derivatives and the course I mentioned contains a lot of derivatives, thanks in advance guys. Btw I’m an Actuary

      I'm still studying for the Lvl 1 so take my advice with a grain of unearned salt...I think it's best to just go for the Lvl 2. Worst-case-scenario is that you might be a bit unprepared for 1 aspect of the exam, which is fine. You can still pass
      I think it's best to just get the exam over with. The CFA is a long journey, I wouldn't wanna make it longer

I'm 23 now, I just want to shift my career so bad. Do you mind to help me find out what is the best first job in finance as freshman (soon) ?

      I find Mark Meldrum really helpful he goes through every learning outcome statement in his videos and does all of the end of chapter questions as well. IFT high yield course is also great for doing level I if you have a undergrad in finance/accounting or have some background in the topics from university.
