u/Fresh_Transition_633

I’m currently starting my 3rd year of BMS (Bachelor of Management Studies) in Finance, but over time I’ve realized that I’m much more interested in technology, development, and programming than core finance.

I’ve already worked on a few projects in:

WordPress website development, basic web development

and now I want to go deeper into full stack development, Python, and advanced coding.

The problem is:

I’m not from a science background, I didn’t take PCM in school, my school percentage was average (~65%) and I’m also not very strong in complex/high-level maths or formula-heavy subjects.

So I’m genuinely worried: Even if I develop strong coding skills and build good projects, will companies in India still hire someone like me without a BTech/BCA/CS degree?

Also, how much advanced maths is actually required in fields like:web development, full stack, Python/backend, software development

because if the field is heavily dependent on advanced maths/formulas, I might struggle there too.

I would really appreciate honest advice from people who:

came from non-tech backgrounds

are self-taught developers switched careers or are already working in tech in India.

I want realistic answers, not motivation.

I’m currently entering my 3rd year of bachelor’s and planning for finance/MBA in the future, but honestly I feel like a below-average candidate academically.

My background:

Around 59% in 10th and 67% in 12th

Current graduation CGPA is around 8.9

Arts background in 12th

Weak in maths, reasoning and aptitude

Preparing for CFA Level 1, but not very confident about clearing it

I’m interested in colleges like NMIMS, Symbiosis and other Tier-2 B-schools for finance/management, but exams like CAT, NMAT and SNAP genuinely worry me because quants is my weakest area.

So realistically:

Can someone who is not very smart academically still crack NMIMS/Symbiosis?

Is it possible even with weak quants and reasoning?

If I perform only average in NMAT/SNAP, do I still have a chance anywhere decent?

Should I first focus on getting work experience before MBA?

How much do 10th/12th marks actually affect admission in Tier-2 colleges?

Need honest advice from people who were in a similar situation or know the reality of MBA admissions.

My CFA Level 1 attempt is on 24 Aug 2026, and honestly I’m feeling very overwhelmed right now and need realistic advice from people who have already cleared it.

I still have 3 subjects left: Portfolio Management, Economics, and Equity Investments. Other subjects are completed, but I’ve forgotten a huge portion and need revision again. Also, I only solved End of Chapter questions for around 4–5 subjects. Subjects like FSA and QM are still left.

One major issue I’m facing is this: while solving CFAI End of Chapter questions, I sometimes understand the concept but still get questions wrong because I struggle with the language/style of the questions. But when I solve Premium Practice Pack questions or mocks, I understand them much better and perform relatively better there.

So I wanted honest opinions: If I’m struggling heavily with EOC questions, can I focus more on Premium Practice Pack + Premium Mocks instead and revise those multiple times?

Also, instead of rereading the entire curriculum again, can repeated practice of Premium Packs + Mocks + analyzing mistakes be enough to pass Level 1?

I’m not someone who learns well from reading huge textbooks repeatedly. I learn much more through question solving and reviewing mistakes. So I’m trying to understand whether this strategy is realistic or if I’m making a huge mistake by not focusing deeply on EOCs and rereading the whole syllabus again.

Would really appreciate honest guidance from people who were in a similar situation and still managed to pass.

Nowadays whenever people talk about finance careers, it feels like CFA is portrayed as the ultimate thing, like if you don’t clear CFA then you can’t make a career in fund management, equity research, portfolio management, etc.

I wanted to ask honestly from people already in the industry:Is CFA really THAT necessary?

I’m someone who genuinely likes finance, markets, valuation, equity research, analyzing companies, making reports, working on Excel, practical market-related work, etc. I can spend hours doing practical finance work in a flow state.

But when it comes to heavy theory, long reading sessions, memorizing formulas, and studying from books continuously, I struggle badly. Currently I’m preparing for CFA and I’m honestly questioning myself a lot because of this.

So I wanted realistic opinions:Can someone still build a strong finance career without CFA if they’re more practical-skill oriented than academic/book oriented?

Or in today’s finance world, is CFA almost compulsory for long-term growth?

I’m a 21-year-old finance student going into my third year, and I genuinely need advice from people who understand psychology, ADHD, focus issues, or similar mental patterns.

Since childhood, I’ve always hated studies. Whenever I hear words like “study,” “exam,” or “preparation,” my brain instantly reacts with anxiety, irritation, pressure, and mental heaviness. Even now, if I’m relaxed and suddenly remember I need to study, my mood completely changes.

The confusing part is that I actually love learning. I’m interested in finance, psychology, stock markets, technology, and practical things like financial modeling and valuation. I’ve also cleared multiple finance certifications. But when it comes to books, theory, long reading sessions, exams, or structured studying, my brain starts resisting badly.

Recently it has become worse. I struggle to:

read books

watch movies/web series

focus deeply

sit consistently with studies

I have bought many books because I genuinely want to become someone who reads and gains knowledge, but I’ve barely completed any serious book in my life. After 10–15 minutes of reading or studying, my brain feels overwhelmed and exhausted.

I also feel social media, reels, shorts, and constant stimulation may have damaged my attention span badly. Slow activities now feel mentally painful.

Some days I feel extremely ambitious and want to crack competitive exams like CAT, pursue higher studies, maybe even do a PhD someday. But the moment I sit to study consistently, it feels like torture.

I’ve taken a few online ADHD tests and many suggested ADHD-like symptoms, but I know online tests are not actual diagnosis.

I genuinely want to understand:

Is this common?

Is this ADHD, burnout, dopamine addiction, anxiety, or something else?

Why do I deeply want knowledge but struggle so much with studying?

What kind of professional should I consult in future if needed: psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, ADHD specialist, etc.?

I really want honest advice from people who understand this deeply because this issue is affecting almost every area of my life.

I really want honest advice from people who understand this deeply because this issue is affecting almost every area of my life.

I genuinely want honest advice from people who went through something similar because this has been affecting me for years now.

Since childhood, I was never a “study person.”

I barely touched books during school, hated studying, avoided academics whenever possible, and always looked at studying as:

pressure

torture

sadness

irritation

mental burden

Even now, whenever someone says:

“You have to study”

my mind instantly reacts negatively.

It doesn’t feel normal to me the way it seems normal for other people.

Some people study like:

“Okay, this is part of life.”

But for me, studying always feels emotionally heavy.

The strange part is: I’m not against learning.

I actually enjoy:

finance

stock markets

psychology

practical learning

computers/technology

I can spend hours learning practical things on a computer or exploring topics I’m curious about.

But the moment:

books

exams

competitive preparation

theory

long study sessions

come into the picture, my brain starts resisting badly.

Now the problem is: My goals require academics.

I’m preparing for competitive exams, aiming for better education/career opportunities, and I know studies are important for my future.

But even after years of trying to force myself:

studying still feels like mental torture

I still procrastinate heavily

I still feel anxiety before studying

I still need pressure to sit and study

And honestly, I’m tired of fighting my own mind every day.

I really want to change this mindset because I know I can’t keep living like this forever.

So I wanted to ask:

Did anyone else grow up genuinely hating studies but later changed?

How did you stop seeing studying as “pain”?

Is this a discipline issue, burnout, attention-span issue, or something deeper psychologically?

How do you make studying feel normal instead of emotionally exhausting?

I’m not looking for motivational quotes.
