Hi I have another question. As I was preparing today I did 84 QTM questions in 6 1/2 hours so I realised Im slow. So can you do a seperate video on time management. How you improved and which sections slowed you down the most while preparing and in exam. and overall time management during exam sitting.
I’d love to more about your background and salary information. If you felt comfortable but I think you should make more videos for students and financial profession interested in certifications. Also maybe going over licenses versus the CFA and other certifications
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 Thanks! I'm currently doing the Anton Kreil course while I'm still on college (Electrical Engineering 3yr) and I pretend apply for CFA after get my degree.
hi sir, im from india, would it be a good idea pursuing cfa as i want to move to usa or canada, also which bachelors degree would complement it (im currently in high school)
Hi A.J.! Here's a question for you. Are CFA's regulated by FINRA or the SEC? I almost went and got my series 7, 63, and more importantly, the series 3 (I really love the futures markets but not forex). A great friend of mine, who happens to be an excellent securities fraud attorney convinced me not to do so. I have my CPA (which is regulated by the board of education in NY for NY CPAs) but I have had my eye on getting the CFA designation. I just don't want to have to report to FINRA every time I need to belch or fart with my finances. Thanks for the informative vids. Keep it up, dude!
My understanding is that a CFA charterholder is not regulated by FINRA, but I will say the CFA Institute standards of ethics are probably more strict than FINRAs.
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323Thank you. That's all fine with ethics standards being loftier. The issue with being a broker under they eye of FINRA is that any investment I have made for myself has to be reported to FINRA. That includes real estate investments. Why should FINRA be allowed to do so? Sorry for venting and thanks for the great content!
Most likely, no. Your GPA will not affect your success at getting a job in Finance. Passing the 3 CFA exams speaks volumes. I am currently going for my CPA exam. My GPA is 3.1, which isn't so great. I have spoken with many in regards to GPA scores. No one in the real world cares. Pass any of these hard exams, get experience, etc. and Bob's your uncle! Good luck!
Hi AJ, I'm from India and been introduced to stock market 2 years ago.. Right now i don't have any solid career, just doing some local jobs and I'm really interested in this program keeping the interest i have for market and investing in my mind and 2nd thing is I also want a solid career so what would you suggest here? I would really like to have a chat with you if possible.

Okay. Yes I might make a salary video! Thanks for the idea.
I’m going for an MBA now, I have no prior experience in finance and want to break in, should I take the exams?
Check out my who should take the CFA exams video.
AJ thanks for this vedio ,i was wondering what r the best options after this ..cheers
Do you trade bonds and fx also? There are any relation with CFA and fixed income trading? Because my impression is that CFA work only with equities.
I do not trade bonds or fx. But yes the CFA program convers bond valuation extensively, and there is some material on bond trading too.

Do you think if someone passes level 1 or level 2 then they have chances of getting a better job ?
Level 2, yes.
hi sir, im from india, would it be a good idea pursuing cfa as i want to move to usa or canada, also which bachelors degree would complement it (im currently in high school)
A finance degree with the CFA charter will definitely open up opportunities in the U.S. or Canada for you.
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 thank you
What happened to the wall behind you? Lol
Its just a crawl space for some storage haha.

I'm an engineer and currently preparing for my CFA Level 1 exam. My GPA in engineering is low, so will it affect while applying for job?
Most likely, no. Your GPA will not affect your success at getting a job in Finance. Passing the 3 CFA exams speaks volumes. I am currently going for my CPA exam. My GPA is 3.1, which isn't so great. I have spoken with many in regards to GPA scores. No one in the real world cares. Pass any of these hard exams, get experience, etc. and Bob's your uncle! Good luck!
No
In my experience, having a low GPA can hurt your chances to apply for and land some jobs. But if you have the CFA it should trump a low GPA.
I am 27 without any finance background
Am i too late to start my cfa
Not at all. Many people taking these exams are in their 30s, 40s, and I have seen some in their 50s and 60s.
🙏 thank you sir
I am currently in canada will cfa be enough for kick start i have done my bachelor's degree in commerce
Can we get a job in NewYork after frm?
I'm from India
Potentially, yes.
@@straighttalks-ajsrmek323 if so
Could you assist me in getting the job?
No, he can not. He wants you to get an American citizenship first.

To be honest I don't know too much about the job market in India. But you probably have many different options.
