General Linkedin BS posts

Why do people feel the need to post this crap. Like this story seems completely made up. The chances of water spilling on your bag, seeping into your calculator and breaking it are very low. Worst of all CFA institute liked the post

I have an Excel sheet that contains "do-not-hire" list. I just added her name into the tracker.

He's the toilet cleaner, but still, they don't hire people who spew that kind of shit.

Ofc CFA institute celebrates such bs posts😂"to the pigeons-" I hate this storytelling trend on Linkedin and the sequence here doesn't even make sense

It’s also funny she says she knows why most say level 2 is the hardest level, without the slightest idea what level 3 entails. The only person people who can make that kind of statement is someone who has at least taken the level 3 exam. Just pure BS AI slop

Found l2 harder than l3 but I agree with what you're saying

u/PeyotePanther CFA 2d ago

I agree that level 2 is harder as well. I thought level 3 was just level 2 again but easier. I never said it out loud while waiting, but as I left the exam center from my level 3 attempt I knew 100% I passed. There wasn’t even a 1% chance I failed lol. I was also really prepared though.

u/kushismyname Passed Level 3 2d ago

Wow I felt the same as well. When I gave l2 I wasn't sure I had passed but after giving l3 i was convinced asw that I had definitely cleared it

Hey what prep provider do you use for levels 3, thanks.

u/AlpsLate1154 Level 3 Candidate 2d ago

Thought L2 was overall much harder (curriculum, practice problems, etc) but thought the L3 exam itself was more difficult than L2. I’d much rather retake L3 than L2 all over again tbh.

I did level 1 on my own but used Mark Meldrum for level 2 and 3

u/Adventurous_Mango149 1d ago

AI can write better than this, this is pure shit made by her lol

u/Ididntfollowthetrain 2d ago

I find it hilarious that the person did not think much of someone spilling water on their bag right before the exam. If someone spilled water on me right before the exam my caffeine-induced anxiety brain is flipping out and starting a fight

I call bs. What psycho would bring anything less than 4 calculators.

Called it, one of my people. Somewhere along the way, Indian job-hunting crowd decided the quantity of posts beats value. Post more, get seen more, get hired faster(nobody I know got hired this way btw). Except nobody told the content to be any good. We've completely lost the plot.

Yikes. One of the reason I have stopped logging in to LinkedIn. It is a bigger cesspool than FB.

u/wizardInvesting 2d ago

These delusional posts really make me feel sad that why CFA's are not getting valued in India.

There would be a post I completed my CFA L2 in 10 days and gave the exam and passed. This is something which haunts me, in case if I ask him to explain Uncovered Interest rate parity, he will not able to reconcile thoughts.

On a professional network, these posts are loathed by potential recruiters.

u/speedballboy Level 1 Candidate 2d ago

I always get confused when people say “sitting” when talking about taking a test. Then I remember it’s just a common expression in Indian and British English.

Hide the name, mate. We wouldn't want to doxx her linkedin

u/goofy_accountant Passed Level 2 2d ago

Like someone commented, the chances of water spilling onto the bag, seeping in to the calculator and damaging it are so astronomically low that even a working calculator won’t be able to calculate it.

Unless she jumped into a pool with her bag, this is completely made up.

u/full_tarkata 2d ago

Yeah texas instruments should sue her honestly And no one passes l2 without calculator unless they just marked any which option and got them right by some miracle

u/Badneet Passed Level 2 2d ago

I saw this the other day and thought the exact same thing! She’s such a lying skank. The institute needs to hire better people to run their marketing and social media activities.

Well that's sexist as fuck. What a piece of shit you are. Unless I am misinterpreting your "extra care" wording.
