Now that we no longer have to argue about OAS vs Z-spreads and how to relever beta, I’m running out of things to talk about. I’ll go first, born and raised in Minneapolis, MN and still here. Yes, we all talk funny and its 0 degrees year-round.
what is your age ? what do you like to eat and drink ? are you marrried ? how many kids ? how many mistresses ? do you know how to cook ? how much money do you make per year ? I’m coming back later with additional questions, just start with these ones. I really want to know you better…

There were so many people appearing in the exam in Dallas center for level 1 and I felt they were really prepared. I wonder how come they don’t use AF. I haven’t seen many people from Dallas here. How many people have plans to switch or look for part time investment related job after passing level 1? When are you guys planning to ditch level 1 forum and starting to post on level 2 forum?

If you did, don’t tell anyone. I am happy that I am better than people who carried 20 pencils. Any how, great to see someone from Dallas. How did you find the place? Do you have the same opinion as other people about the place being nasty? Did you get distracted by the person who was coughing very hard somewhere in the back? Did you go to happy hour after exam? Hmm…Investment analyst…sounds interesting…I can smell some opportunity for networking here. Probably, you can help me out with getting some part time job after level 1 to realize the theoretical knowledge.

Hey Sgupta , My first job was in JP morgan , I was recruited on campus , then i did a jump to CS. Things good with these places are opportunities for global mobility . But depending on your background , you could land in a particular role. Eg lot of engineers land up in algorithimic trading . Funny part most I banks have Men has traders , very few women Guess its in line with a BBC documentary i once saw , Men are more prone to risk taking. I did a stint in Japan for a year
