CFA L1 Prep & Finance Career Guidance

Appearing for CFA Level 1 and feeling lost? Or trying to break into investment banking, equity research, or advisory but not sure how?

I'm a CFA L1 candidate currently in my final revision phase, working as a Research Analyst at a boutique M&A firm. I know what the exam actually tests and what the industry actually looks for — and they're not always the same thing.

We can cover: — CFA L1 study strategy, topic prioritisation, and mock approach — Weak subject turnaround — FSA, Fixed Income, Derivatives, Equity — How to position yourself for IB / equity research / advisory roles — Resume and LinkedIn review for finance roles — What mid-market advisory and M&A work actually looks like day-to-day

No generic advice. I'll tell you exactly what I'd do if I were in your position.
