Hey there @frm_risk, Thank you very much for your response. I will definitely try to broaden my network. I think you're right in the sense that I need to get my foot in the door somewhere. I'll try harassing the big banks here in Canada some more. Thank you.

Hello forum, I'll be blunt, i'm coming here for advice as i'm not really sure what do to anymore. A little bit of story and background first. I'm 25 and I graduated back in April of 2013. My bachelor was in business administration but I prefer to say finance as that was my major. I'm not...

As bad as this whole situation was, today I learned that Bionic Turtle has a facebook page! Sorry about that guy David, keep up the good work!

Passed level 1! I felt like the exam went horribly wrong but i got 1,3,1,2. Quantitative analysis kicked my butt but i still passed! Thank you BT :P

First of all, thank you David for your quick answer :P Second, Nicole, it's funny that you mention Calculus for dummies because right after creating my forum post I went ahead and bought exactly that book on Amazon! I understand that calculus is not mandatory to pass FRM but also that it's...

Hi david, I've been studying for about a month now and I am currently on the quantitative analysis part of the curriculum. I came across some calculus while reading your note but never really paid attention to it as it seems to be shown as a bonus rather than being mandatory. There seems to...
