So here’s the deal. I got a job offer, great job, front office, financial analyst. But the strength of CFA resume goes WAYYYY way up July 26th with a pass.
So do you take the offer in hand, or wait and use the PASS L2 on the resume at the end of the month to strike a more lucrative contract with someone else? and what if you don’t pass! you turn down the offer and then screw yourself royally. is it a gamble worth taking?
 
Passing L2 alone will likely not increase your resumé’s overall strength, at least enough to have a meaningful impact on job prospects. Experience >>> L2 pass, all day every day. Hence, it is not a gamble worth taking. I’d advise you to take the current offer.

Agreed. Passing L2 doesn’t do a thing for your resume until you pass L3. Now, the charter is a nice healthy boost to your resume but saying that you’re a L3 candidate doesn’t do jack for your resume. I speak from experience.
 
Take the offer. Passing level 2 doesn’t guarantee scoring a better job. Like you said, it’s a great job, so why hesitate?
 
Take it. Use it to get a rise on that job. If you can’t, then search for another job with higher pay or a better marginal benefits to your career.
In conlusion: Take the job.
 
Take the job.
This shouldnt even be a debate.
Passing an exam is not going to be a criteria for higher pay.
Being a charterholder is what matters in the long run. You are getting the relevant experience needed by the looks of the position.
 
Yea why is this a question? Take the job. I don’t think passing L2 alone will earn you more money. People may place a higher value on a charter but not just passing L2.
