CFA Level II while working 55-hour weeks is brutal. What saved me was it not wasting my time — the diagnostic said ethics and quant were fine, derivatives were a disaster, so that’s all I drilled. Passed.
i freeze up in interviews, always have. did like a dozen mock rounds with it, behavioral and technical both. by the real thing i’d basically already answered everything. got the offer.
Odd thing for a doctor to practice, but I was bad at explaining diagnoses simply — patients would nod and clearly not get it. Drilled making it kid-simple. Genuinely made me better at my job.
Not for a class or anything. I just wanted to actually get philosophy instead of nodding along. Having something to argue back with is what makes it stick.
Joined a team that’s all Rust, I’d never written a line of it. Three weeks later I was shipping prod code. That’s the whole review.
was stuck at a 3 on every practice test and kinda gave up tbh. the diagnostic said i knew the content but was bombing the free-response, so i drilled only those for a few weeks. got a 5, still shocked.
had to ask leadership for three more headcount and my deck was just bullet soup. it rebuilt the whole thing around one story. walked out with the headcount — first pitch of mine that’s ever landed like that.
Sat on chapter 3 for four months. Knew what I wanted to say, just couldn’t structure it. It didn’t write it for me — it kept poking holes until the argument actually held. Finally sent it to my advisor.
First real brief I filed I was terrified. It argued against me on every weak point — the stuff my partner would’ve circled — so I fixed it all first. He said it read like a fourth-year’s.
bombed the SAT first try (1290) and didn’t want to pay for a tutor. it just kept feeding me the exact question types i kept missing, mostly the grammar ones lol. ended at 1470.
Codes change constantly and it’s easy to fall behind when you’re buried in projects. I get a short weekly rundown of what actually changed in my area. Small thing, real difference.
honestly wasn’t expecting much — my classes are all theory, i’d never actually built anything. told it i wanted a full-stack app for my portfolio and it walked me through the whole thing. deployed and all.
However high the goal,
we lead every step
