The Complete Checklist of Items to Bring to CFA Exam Day

Mod Note: This post is from December 2012 but is still relevant for those taking the test on June 1st, good luck!

The Dec Level I CFA candidates take the exam this weekend. Knowing & preparing what you're going to bring can make a lot of difference in your exam - taking the exam when you know you're running out of pencils, or that your calculator is getting iffy unnecessarily piles onto the already-stressful environment.

As the following years and levels piled on, I've added a few must-bring items of my own. Here is my definitive list of things to bring to the exam that you should not miss. Take a shopping trip 1 or 2 days beforehand and try to get all the items on this list.

Forbes: Finance Jobs Moving From Wall Street?
May 31st 2013, 21:14

Moving From Wall Street

I came across this Forbes column this morning that obviously caught my attention: The Cities That Are Stealing Finance Jobs From Wall Street. The author claims that NY fell into 52nd place on their chart of the fastest growing cities for finance-related jobs, and SF falling to 37th (even though it was rated #1 on their 2013 List of The Best Cities For Jobs). I found this to be really interesting, considering that on this site it is (almost) everyone's dream to make it to "the street" in NYC. Is this changing?

Their fastest growing cities for finance-related jobs are respectively as follows: Richmond, VA; Pittsburgh, PA; Fort-Arlingworth, TX; San Antonio, TX; & Jacksonville, FL. Reasons listed for this shift is lower fixed costs, and lower salary demand.

What are your guys' thoughts on the topic? Are finance jobs diluting throughout the US, or will Wall Street always have the largest hand in the pot?

Payday lenders are thriving because there is no credible alternative
May 31st 2013, 05:00

Payday lenders are an easy target. No one likes to see vulnerable people getting into trouble with debt, and the combination of sky-high APRs and sometimes low practices makes these modern-day Shylocks an unpopular bunch.
