I will take the exams just not only for being accepted from the bank or whatever... I just love to have knowledge in depth about the topics that CFA and FRM exams covers..

[@AfzalHussein]

Looks like lots of you want the 'CFA vs Masters' video. I'll be recording and uploading it in the next few weeks. Be sure to turn on post notifications (press the bell) so you don't miss the upload! Thanks for your time :)

[@kieranmckinna768]

Great video again.... . Good balance between the company side and the employee side when discussing it. Top job keep it up.

[@wistrad]

So grateful for those videos thank you so much

[@paulrobert3325]

Your videos are always informative especially for someone who wants to break in the financial markets

[@asiimwejohnson7388]

Hi Afzal. Thanks very much for your videos.

[@q1a413]

Could you also make a video about Fintech and Importance of Blockchain and how should we start to prepare for a future career in this field as it's picking up as a new market.

[@bfelinemaximus]

Thank you for this video

[@raghavmahajan3178]

Also, if you could make a similar video about the FRM certification (FRM for getting into IB), that'd be great!

[@arishah2884]

It's a very good video. I like how you say you have to be cut out for it! This is a very true statement. Charterholder Here and did not realize it's that difficult relative to a Masters or other certification program. Basically, it's working a 9-10 hr job daily, and then studying 3 hrs daily and 10-12 hrs on the weekend to ensure you will learn everything properly and pass. The program can easily take 4 years before COVID as L2 and L3 were offered only once a year. It's difficult to pass 2 & 3.
