Those L3 candidates who recently applied for charter, if you don’t mind, could you kindly describe your current line of work please?
 
Buy side analyst for a small emerging+frontier market hedge fund. I am part of the Asia team and a generalist.
 
Foreign Exchange dealer in a Mid size Bank. Also look after Asset-liability management of bank and interest rate risk management.
 
Quantitative investment risk management at an insurance company.
 
Now I am thinking, even if I pass Level 3 this year (was my 1st attempt), it was probably a waste of time for me, considering I don’t think I will be completely ever shifting away from what I do ( Business Analyst RAD Development management for Equity Derivatives (Delta 1 Traders aligned) in Large Investment Bank) into pure investment decision making. Even though, I would really love to get involved in that, I don’t take I am prepared to take a paycut that would be necessary. Also, the job market in my area is super charged, and I have spoken to a friend here in my bank who is a quant research analyst, and he felt, my earning potential will not probably improve if I switched into research (not atleast for 4-5 years). I just don’t have the patience at my stage of life.
(Although admittedly, I am being short sighted)
Any words of advice for me?

I have a quantitative background, but did not specialize in actuarial sciences. My company supports both the CFA program and the actuarial exams, and I thought the CFA was more interesting and helps me more in my current job. Maybe I’m going to take the actuarial exams somewhere in the future.

Portfolio Management for corporate pension plan, 401k, and health trust.
