I made fairly large bet on indian IT services in April,2024 for 3-5 years horizon long story short at the end of reasearch there were 3 names infront of me 1.Coforge 2.persistent system ltd 3.LTIM And i choose LTIM because of it was cheaper , LT brand and DC (CEO) has good track record, better roe,roce,opm etc. But guess what from that level coforge has given 100% , persistent has given 80% and LTiM is underperforming the sector with only 25% return Now my question is i m regretting like hell that i have made wrong bet how to overcome this fear and how to choose right company out of its peers

FinTree looks good. Was totally SCAMMED by Fintelligents. Fintelligents FRM Question Bank is completely COPIED from an old Analyst Prep 2020 material. And they keep using the same every year.

Hi utkarsh, because of bad connectivity could not hear your response to my question. Request to pls answer my query posted below: i have cleared both parts of FRM and Level 1 of CFA including 4 yrs i worked in merchant banking domain but due to no growth I switched to work at a service-based IT company with an international bank as a client. While the pay is good, the daily IT-related tasks feel frustrating. Should I continue in such roles and transition into product management, leveraging my CFA+FRM credentials? Do these qualifications align with such a profile?

Hello Utkarsh Sir, I recently completed my Level 1 exam on Tuesday. Before that, I worked as an equity dealer for a year and left my job in July to prepare for the exam. I have two questions: 1) My previous salary was 3 LPA plus 1 L in variable incentives. In my upcoming interviews, is it reasonable to request a salary hike based on 4 LPA or should I consider 3 LPA as the base? ( incentives is only mentioned in pay slip ) 2) I took a 3-4 month break for exam preparation. Could you suggest a strong justification for this gap that I can provide during interviews?
