How do you view CMT designation as a CFA charterholder ma’am?

@arishah2884 4 месяца назад

Hey Charlene, Great video! Charterholder here. Thanks for sharing. It's quite a process and it feels like it changed my personality. I was a really outgoing 23 year old man going out every weekend, going for trips to tons of places. As soon as I enrolled, I stopped eating healthy, could not go to the gym or dance often, did not have time to chat with friends or family much. All i did was work in Asset Management - 9/10 hrs and then come back home, take a nap for 1 hr and then study for 3 hrs. Double on the weekends. It felt crazy even when my parents used to say let's go for a drive or friends would say lets meet up for dinner and drinks. Concerts, everything et cetera. Feeling relieved now but somehow its very deeply ingrained in my system, and still recovering. Transitioning into a new person soon.

Hey! Thanks for your message. It sounds like you've been through a lot on your journey to becoming a charterholder. I understand how the intense study and work schedule can take a toll on your personal life and hobbies. It's great to hear that you're feeling relieved now. Do take it slow and prioritize self-care as you move forward:) If you ever need someone to talk to or support along the way, feel free to reach out. Wishing you all the best as you navigate this transition! Charlene x

@@CharleneCong it is very cool to know that CFA is possible for professionals with different background I still plan my master in Finance but I would definitely go ahead with CFA first

@CharleneCong 9 дней назад

That's great to hear! The CFA program is indeed a versatile option that can benefit professionals from various backgrounds. Pursuing your CFA before your master's in Finance sounds like a solid plan, as it can provide a strong foundation and enhance your credentials. Are there any particular topics or areas within finance that you are especially interested in? Best of luck with your studies and future endeavors!

Hey Charlene, great words of wisdom. Reduction of rent was the best part 😅. Hope your channel reach a million subscribers soon. Just a question- I’m preparing for L1 Nov 24- which prep material did you refer?

@CharleneCong 2 месяца назад

Thanks for your kind words and good luck my friend! I was using the notes from Kaplan back then and I think that’s good enough! And I had a video about 5 tips on passing CFA, hope it’s helpful too! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6TshoLwKkKg.htmlsi=LiKH-kf3Jt17qipw

@applepeel1662 6 дней назад

Quite interesting that you came from a completely non-finance background, why did you decide on pursuing a career in finance? I’m currently studying a MS in Business Analytics at Boston University and im really interested in working in Fintech so im researching if CFA level 1 would make sense for me

@CharleneCong 2 дня назад

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, it's been quite a journey moving from a non-finance background to finance. I got hooked on financial markets and their global impact, which led me down this path. For Fintech, the CFA can give you a solid financial foundation, which can be really useful. Your MS in Business Analytics sounds awesome and super relevant to Fintech! How are you liking your program at Boston University, and what part of Fintech excites you the most?

hello i am 20 definitely interested in finance a lot but i am still in college and this course is very expensive so will it be worth it for me if i do this course now?

@CharleneCong 10 дней назад

Hello! If you're passionate about finance, investing in a quality course can be beneficial. However, it's important to consider your financial situation and other commitments. You might also explore scholarships, online resources to gain experience without the high cost. CFA also offers scholarships. What specific area of finance are you most interested in?

Is only CFA worth it?

@CharleneCong 2 дня назад

It can open many doors in terms of career opportunities and advancement. However, whether it's worth it depends on your career goals and interests. For some, additional qualifications like an MBA or other professional certifications might also be beneficial. What are your career aspirations, and what specific areas of finance are you interested in?
