Second post on this forum (first was the same-sorta post in the CAIA Section) although i’ve been an avid follower of both the CFA and CAIA sections.
I just passed the level 1 CAIA exam along with the level 1 CFA exam in June 2014. I thought both were relatively easy and put in about 100 hours for CAIA and 200-250 hours for CFA.
I’m contemplating sitting for CAIA Level 2 in March 2015 and CFA Level 2 in June 2015.
I value the CFA above the CAIA and don’t want to risk not having enough time to study for level 2 but was hoping to get it all out of the way so I could enjoy the summer and partially/potentially improve my career prospects. I may also take the GMATs Fall 2015 as well.
I was wondering here if anyone had done this before and if they could talk about their experience with it. Is there a lot of overlap/too little time to study for both?
Thanks in advance for the help!
