Welcome to Personal Finance's Private Community

I am studying for Actuary exams along with my job. I have an attempt in November for CB2 (Business Economics) and CM2 (Financial Engineering and Loss Reserving).

Any tips to pass these exams, given the limited time. I am done with microeconomics and a bit of macroeconomics for CB2.

For CM2, I'm done with the initial few chapters. Could you suggest what to study and how to, as revision might also take some time.

I am a 26F, 3yoe in advertising and marketing. I'm tired of being in agency side and serving the brand. I wanted to shift to brand side for that I'm planning to give CAT and get an MBA from IIMs. To be honest I feel super underconfident to give a try. I am disappointed with myself and throwing a lot of self hate for this attitude towards my preparation. Anyone who has cracked CAT could teach me how to overcome this would be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Exam pressure

Hey people,

I just started preparing for CAT'24. A bit about myself- Graduated last year, with an Engineering Degree, working as an Associate Product Manager (~1 yr).

I've started with IMS modules and solved a few previous year sectionals, not complete papers though. 

I take out time to study on weekends and on days I work from home. Could anyone suggest a strategy; as to what topics to target first, what modules/ mock series to purchase, if needed etc.

Thanks, looking forward to your suggestions.

CAT Prep

So basically an Engineering plus MBA guy here , stuck in a job that has nothing to do with finance under a manager who undermines every effort towards simplifying things and I'm considering upgrading myself to something better.

So CFAs of grapevine what do you recommend , wher to start what to avoid and everything in between

CFAs where did you take your first step?

Finance Operations

Hi,

I failed for the very first time in CA Finals. Now, when I study back it feels like I know everything still I was not able to clear. This is making me feel really worry & giving me anxiety for upcoming exams!

Anyone wanna share any of your experiences on the similar lines?

Thanks in advance!

Tip for fresher from BBA finance

Help me to find job as a BBA finance fresher

Hi! I’m in a huge dilemma and looking out for any advice I can get. I currently have 1.5 years of work ex and want to pursue MBA. 
Im confused if I should complete 2 years of work ex and then quit to do full time mba prep or quit right away to do prep. My quant is weak so I will need a lot of practice to crack CAT.
2 year criteria comes in so that I can keep options like ISB open as it requires a minimum of 2 year work ex. 
Any advice would be highly appreciated!

Program Manager

I am currently in a sales generalist role making around 3 LPA in a startup. I am already 25 and I would like to switch into account management or a media buying role. What skills or tools should I consider learning? Currently learning excel & will be starting power BI. My goal is to reach at least 10 LPA this year through any certification or a skill. I know I have higher expectations but I am ready to learn anything that it takes.

Non-tech roles

Growth Manager

I have been working as a Software engineer since the past 2 years (work from home), but now I will have to shift. 
I have been thinking about going for an Mba since last year and will be self-prepping, since I have the basics (I did prepare last year) I am confused on the course for preparation
I've been thinking to go full on with Mocks and tests for the time remaining (I'll start the prep now)

People who have been in similar situation, what mock test series did you find accomodating and flexible ? I would want to have as much flexibility in mock tests because some days I can devote 4-5 hrs, but some days it would be lesser. 
I've come across SIMCATs, AIMCATs and CatKing's mock series. Are they good ?

Need some guidance for MBA prep with a full time job

Software Engineer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi Folks,

I wanna prepare for GMAT and build a profile for a top business school. However, with the high demanding work and a lot of late nights I am not able to get enough time and at times enough motivation to study. 
Does anyone have any recommendations as to what should I do or what sort of plan I can follow ?

GMAT prep recommendations with High demand job

So, I've been trying to clear my CA Exam since long. 

Today was my exam as well, don't have the conviction that I'll be through yet again.

Really down about it cause I know I'm good when I work. My articleship (internship) period was a golden period when I got to learn so much and I made my principal happy many times with my work.

It's just the exams. Somehow not able to clear them. Won't blame anyone but me for it.

I'm thinking of taking a different path.
I am B.Com. and M.Com. Graduate.

I'm open to suggestions. Please help. Thanks.

Suggestions

im in MBA FY. I find macro interesting but its a really vast sub and I need some suggestions on how to approach it or if you had any tricks for it or any yt playlist or any good macro books or any other thing you think I should know

macroeconomics

Hi friends!
I have recently started studying finance and economics, and would like to try my hand at giving CFA, if there’s someone who has already prepared for it could you please share important course material or a study plan to go about it?

My background:
- 2..5 yoe in software engineering 
- B.Tech CSE
- no formal education related to commerce subjects

CFA L1

It’s quite expensive to pursue one, but I’m worried not doing it will stagnate my career long term. Any views on whether I should apply (4yrs work experience currently, have worked in a boutique consulting firm previously). 

Any help will be sincerely appreciated!!
