  • Work life balance: This week, we take a step back from the daily grind to look at the bigger picture on how to achieve a better work life balance while studying, managing stress and cultivating productive habits.

  • Risk management certifications: We compare FRM vs PRM, and look at some data on whether FRM delivers a statistically significant salary increase, on average.

  • Starting your CFA prep: For those relatively new to CFA, we discuss which levels are the most difficult (not Level 1 thankfully), and how to use flashcards effectively for your studies. Plus some good tips on how to pass CFA Level 1 the first time. 

Read, and remember to comment!
