Expect some congrats email from people People will ask me what I’m going to do next to be nice but in reality they are looking for me to make a funny joke Then people will starting sh!t behind my back wondering when I’m going to leave and/or if I ever got a raise for passing
Pimpin’, I get that bullshit all the time, “… the CFA? Is that like the series 7?” I guess if you have to ask you’ve already had your money squandered away by a broker with the series 7, haha.
I have a hard time even talking to anyone that compares it to the series 7. Trying to explain to them how much more difficult the CFA is without coming off sounding like an a-hole is really tough. I usually default to just being an a-hole, then I am the bad guy even though they asked the ridiculous question. Even better is people in the industry trying to compare their prep for the series 7 to what you go through trying to get the charter.
I know a girl who had a really tough time with the Series 7, I told her honestly don’t bother trying the CFA exams.
I remember sitting next to some moron for L1 that was upset his company forced their employees to pass L1 (only), despite him already having his series 7. to quote “some silly people in upper management think that if you didnt get a degree in finance or at least pass level 1 that you lack credibility in the business…I mean, I already have my series 7!”. I am taking that he didn’t study too much or wouldn’t have made the statement…

So you would be paid like $40k to do this? If the job is legit and not just title inflation, take the job, bag the experience, then go somewhere where they’ll honor the full price tag.
Raise and promotion

Lunch, courtesy of my cheap-a$$ employer. Nothing more. Hopefully shortly after I’ll reward them with a 2-week notice.

I LOL’ed when I saw this…brilliant
Bargaining chip during incentive comp season…its understood that one more charterholder on staff just pads the stats of the organization.
the line kevin bacon said in sleepers.
I’m not even planning on telling anyone at work if I pass. I’m applying for jobs that require less than a high school diploma right now just so I can quit working where I do. The job outlook is getting worse by the day. Gotta know when to call the fight. . . . Everyone in my office had a “tough time” with the Series 7, hopefully they don’t have a tough time with the shit I leave under my desk when I quit to go work at Taco Johns. My finance career is over. . . . … .
keep in mind that this is from a fairly low base salary; but, they’ve consistently give me from 5-10 % raise on the two prior levels & when I passed my cfp.
ill expect them to get the first round on my leaving drinks!
