I started studying for the level III about a month ago. It has been on and off. I decided to skip Ethics and started with Behavioral Finance 1 month ago. And I still have not finished the book yet. This stuff is so boring and long.
No more slacking off now and I will finish this volume by the end of the week. Time to hit the library and starbucks again. I was hoping that I'd be working after passing level II but I'm doing the same routine as last year, staying at home person and studying few hours a day.
As a level III CFA candidate with no work experience, it is extremely hard to find a position especially in the NW (at least this is what I say to myself). So I have decided to move to NY by the end of Nomvember. I found a place to live, study, and workout. Hopefully with the astonomical number of AM firms in the east coast, I will be able to find a job over there.
I would like to think of myself as a realist and I don't assume that I will be an equity analyst any time soon. What I want is to find an internship (paid or nonpaid) that is relevant to equity research while studying level III. After the internship I would like a full time job as an equity analyst. The best scenario would be for me to get a position as a junior equity research or research assistant at an AM firm right now and start working and build up my work experience.
