Passed three levels at first attempts before 23

oh :stuck_out_tongue: I am 23. And while studying for CFA exams (Cleared L3 this year) I took part in 3 sports (athletics, swimming and rowing) at university (Awarded university colours for one sport during all 4 years of university), worked for the world’s largest student run organization (AIESEC) and also had/still having a wonderful social life plus a steady relationship. Just started working in equity research :slight_smile: Just because a few Americans are lazy like you don’t criticize all the youth. And trust me…I do know a few American youth who are even more all-rounders than me.

USA USA USA!!!

Topic “Passed 3 level at 1st attempts b4 23” is pompous & reeks of d fundamental problem of d human race.

The problem has always been d desires to assert superiority & to dominate others … racism and wars are extreme cases bearing same face with d boy’s boasting.

where did crybaby OP go after that rant?

23, no experience, overconfident, self-entitled, always-looking-for-praise, upstart need to chill out. We were all young and we all thought we knew our industry way too soon. Anyonene experienced finds it annoying because if you get a fire lit under your A$$, you’ll have no idea how to react and how to actually form your argument and get the problem solved. That is only learned by experience.

So, good luck and congrats, you earned your charter way too young, and because you’ve never applied anything you’ve learned to actual problems and most of the CFA knowledge that you gained, you’ll probably lose because you’ve never had to internalize it or use it besides an exam format.

I agree. The fact that I have 10 years of experience helped me determine what CFA Material I need to retain going forward. Of course, I don’t remember formulas, etc. but I know the sections to know that will guide me in future instances. If I were 23 yo, I would have just learnt a bunch of material and largely have forgotten it by the time I was in my upper 20’s and lower 30’s when you really start applying it. That’s why MBA’s are usually upper 20’s and lower 30’s in the U.S.
