Hi all, I (F17) live in Mumbai. I am currently in the process of getting into an engineering college in Maharashtra. I am currently 17 years old and I am very curious about the CFA exam. Basically the thing is that I don't want to stay in the tech industry and I want to move towards finance and I feel this is the quickest way to do it.

I think this is a good age to start thinking about it as I will have a couple years to prepare for it. But I just looked up the CFA registration fee and it's about like 1.5lakh (rounding up). That is insane. I haven't talked to my parents about it yet because they're not exactly the supportive type and I'm not even sure if I truly want to give the exam or not, so please if someone can help me by answering these questions for me

1- what are the benefits of a CFA certification? I will be doing engineering from a tier 2/3 college so will it benefit me to get a good j\*b when I'm done because my college isn't known for great place\*\*ments.

2- when do you think I should start preparing? Should I give the exam after I complete my bachelors degree or before it as it will add a great certification to my resume?

3- how difficult is it? I do not have a commerce/finance related background at all. I have taken computers+PCM since 9th grade. Even my father and brother are in the tech industry. Will I be able to understand the material required for the CFA exam?

4- how do u get over the 1.5lakh registration fee? I mean it as it'll always be at the back of my mind that I'm paying such a big amount for this exam and if I fail, I'll have to spend it again. How to convince your tech parents that I want to get this certification???

5- just any other advice, tips, information about the CFA exam would be greatly appreciated. I really really want to go for it but I'm so confused, I can't seem to find a good road map from anywhere. If you were in my position, a 17 year old student about to go into an engineering college but wants to give the CFA exam, how would you start and what are the things you wished you had known?

PS- I know the exam might be tough and I'm ready to give it my all during my preparation. I failed JEE and have learned from my mistakes. I really really want to get into the finance world and if you guys have any other suggestions on how to get into the finance world I would greatly appreciate it.

The show is getting unnecessarily repetitive and it's exhausting to watch now... Every week every episode is the mixture of the same 3-4 scenes per plot line... It's very disappointing considering the fact that they have built up such strong characters that they could have added so much more to the show, yet all it is now is just random scenes which don't make any contribution towards the plot.... Talk about wasted potential smh

Right now all we get is mercan crying, unnecessary mertes acting like children (like that's literally all their scenes at this point 1-either mercan crying and ates comforting her or ates angry and mercan calming him down and 2- them playing children games) , and all the cemet scenes we've gotten so far is mostly them arguing for no reason??? WHY ISN'T DEMET TELLING CEMAL THE WHOLE STORY?? Every scene they keep on arguing only... At first it was cute but now it's annoying... And even in the kitchen staff like if I see burak and cicek together I will literally stop watching the show... It will be the last level of my patience... Why did Malik have to leave? Did virat have some other commitments or what?

There are so many dynamics the makers can explore... Cemal-eylul, ates-demet, mercan-cemal, demet-hazar, cemal-ates-eylul being a sibling trio and what not and so many more too like idk maybe yasar-berat, abdo-cemal etc..... Currently the show is running on three parallel stories who are completely disconnected with each other and somehow the makers are ruining all three storylines.... What I would love from the show is a little connectivity of all the different people from time to time, not just random phone calls from ates to cemal, or random scenes between the kitchen staff and mertes... Some more slice of life things.. You know like natural mixing of the three worlds.. From season 1 it turns out that Tahir knew Berat and cicek too from his childhood yet we never ever get any scenes of them...

I really thought that when ates and mercan went on their honeymoon and ates told eylul that cemals here he'll help her look for her family that maybe we would get some scenes of cemal and eylul bonding over the fact that they're completely alone in the world.... Or maybe that after nezirs death ates would sympathize with demet and offer support, or if not that I was definitely shocked by the lack of support mercan has been giving demet... At this point I don't even feel that mercan and demet are friends anymore...

There are so many plot lines which we can explore too like first the obvious mysteries which we don't know hazars full background, demets fiance, cemals background- how he met ates and how muzeyan adopted him and who are his actual parents, but no, here u go guys, learn about yasars fiance first because that's what is the most important right now....

The makers are unnecessarily prolonging each plot line for no reason when they could easily end one plot and explore the other new ones.... Why are the cresting this random misunderstanding between cemet? WHERE DID DEMETS FIANCE COME FROM? Why did they make Malik leave? Just get them married and find a new plot for them please. Even like why do they keep hinting at the fact that zehra might loose the baby? Let her have the baby and THINK what to do with the plot after that

Right now they're just creating problems in everything for no reason and it's so annoying because they have so much potential to use. Even with mertes. The scenes in season 2 are absolutely unbearable. All the cliche stuff. Blech. Mercan and ates are already established as two powerful individuals, and seeing them so spineless with each other is really ruining their power couple dynamic. They're both strong, independent, they don't always have to act like children around each other. Explore some more ideas for them. Maybe let them come to the office every once in a while and show their professional side. What do they even do at home all day every day? They havent worked a day in their lives since ates confessed his love for her. Show their powerful professional dynamic too.

I'm not hating I'm just annoyed at the extremely poor and inconsistent writing and character plots and the wasted potential.... I watched arafta because of mercans strength in season 1 but now all she does is cry... Truly... Sorry to say it but it's true.... They've turned the powerful dynamic of ates and mercan to a weird dominant husband-submissive wife thing....i literally cannot watch any scenes of mertes in season 2...the dialogues are so incredibly cringe worthy like who's coming up with this stuff??? They are both grown adults. Ates should learn to get a grip on his emotions and mercan should learn how to not cry at everything. Right now it literally feels like they are each others parents rather than a healthy relationship dynamic. Ates is the father mercan never had and mercan is the mother ates never had. Truly I'm sorry to say this and I know I'll get hated for it but that's truly their dynamic right now. They're not a healthy couple at all. One person is always acting like a child. And what the heck is mercan still recoiling from affection ?? All scenes they're copying from season 1 directly and just labelling it as season 2...the red dress, the bathroom fight, the mercan not wanting to kiss and what not... Those were iconic things from season 1-theyre done they're in the past now focus on better writing and create new iconic things for season 2!!!!

They're married now... I would love to see some more NEW domestic scenes like them cooking together or whatnot, we got more scenes like that in season 1 than we're getting now lol

Pls god I hope the upcoming episodes are not as disappointing as ep 9-10 and have a little tiny bit of plot in them... Just a tiny bit... Just a little....

In summary I just want the show to have something NEW not old stuff from season 1

If anyone remembers, arafta dizi uploaded a set tour with Serdar(hazar bey) and I remember it was like 4-5 minute long and like now I can't find it on YT? Does anyone else remember that? Can u guys see it? Or did they change it to members only or what?

ISTG ARAFTA HAS SUCH GOOD MOMENTS TO MAKE EDITS ON HINDI SONGSSSSS AHHHHHHH

OMMMGGGG AS AN INDIAN I'M FREAKING OUT ABOUT THE FACT THAT ALYENA LITERALLY USED ABHI MUJH MAI KAHI IN HER POST..... like literally from the minute I saw their reunion I immediately thought of agneepath and that song it was actually my late grandmothers favorite song too..... And to see it used there OOOFFF do they know what it means like I suppose they must but still I was very very happy and shocked and thrilled to see the use of the song there AAAAAAAHHHHH
