Hi all, Im currently working in credit portfolio management side of a very old US bank, I've 5 years of experience in credit and financial analysis, also am preparing for CFA L2

Recently i have picked up a liking towards automation, power automate, power BI and other AI capabilities, and have been continuosuly exploring ways to automate alot of my teams redundant work.

*I realize that my calling is to move towards risk modelling/analytics team which has finance as well has programming languages involved.*

Wanted to seek guidance from folks who are already in such fields.

Do i need expertise of python, sql or other programming languages to move into these fields?
What do you do on a daily basis? Does the work exite you?

Hi all,

I’ve CFA Level 2 exam on May 19, and this will be my third attempt. In my previous attempt, I fell short by around 40 points. This time, I began my preparation about 30 days before the exam.

Most of what I’m studying feels like revision, but my QBank scores haven’t been very encouraging. I’ve been using the UWorld Finance QBank, and I find the questions quite challenging.

Over the next four days, I plan to complete my readings and QBank, then revise and mock exams.

I’m concerned that I may still be underprepared and risk failing again, if i do fail i will drop from CFA

I currently work in the credit side of banking, and while I’ve completed CMA, I don’t have a core finance degree which is one reason i took CFA.

I’d really appreciate any guidance.
