  • The merits of CFA Program: This week, we review the potential benefits and career options that a CFA charter may bring, as well as help you benchmark the study time commitment needed for all 3 levels.

  • How about risk management? If CFA doesn't align with your cost-benefit analysis, a career in risk management may be worth considering. We take an in-depth look into this career path, compare the 2 main risk management qualifications (FRM vs PRM) and updated our estimates on FRM May 2025 results date as well. P.S. - FRM Aug 2025 registration closes on 30th June.

  • Coffee vs sleep deprivation: Ah, we are walking on a tightrope on this one. We explore the perfect sweet spot between using coffee to boost focus when studying, whilst ensuring that we don't end up experiencing sleep deprivation from too much caffeine.
