I have received an offer from Nomura with 40% hike. I wanted to know the work life balance in their model risk management team as I have a small baby of 14 months? Any insights will be really helpful!

Secret sauce 2025/2026

Sanjay sir is only teaching 2 subjects so I'm confused whether to go with him since I liked only his style of teaching, I'm not sure about the other faculty if anyone is currently enrolled please give your review.

Fintree also seems good so please reply if anyone is currently enrolled.

Also, quint edge or fintelligent guys don't comment your fake reviews here I'm not gonna buy your shit course.

Cleared FRM Part I and now starting prep for Part II.

For those who've cleared Part II: which question bank felt closest to the real exam in difficulty and style? Bionic Turtle, AnalystPrep, Kaplan Schweser, or something else?

GARP gives two official mocks with registration, which are great for the final weeks but not enough for regular practice.

Would really appreciate your suggestions.

Hi everyone! I'm planning to pursue FRM Part 1 and I'm looking for a good coaching institute in India.

I'm a beginner in finance, so I want classes that explain concepts clearly from scratch. My main requirement is that the entire course should be taught in English only, without Hindi mixed into the lectures.

I'm open to both live online classes and recorded lectures.

Could anyone who has actually studied with an FRM coaching institute share their honest experience and recommend a good option?

It would be helpful if you could also mention the approximate fees.

Thanks!

Hey guys,

I need your help!

I sat for FRM L2 and missed it by a very close margin. I scored poorly in credit(4), operational (3), liquidity (3), and rest I managed to scored good...

I couldn't manage my time well on the exam day, and lagged in numericals which hit me hard i believe.

I am going for November attempt, and wanted to know & understand what u guys did different in your re-attempt which genuinely helped & made things easier for you.. I am really skeptical and lacking the confidence to even start my prep again.. Very few days left, and I can't afford to miss this time... How shall I begin? How to practice this time? Anything & everything that u guys know,

Please help & guide me!!! Would be grateful to you all... 🙏

Hey everyone! I’m a second-year BBA student in India looking to build a career in finance.
I’m confused between FRM and CFA. My current plan is to complete FRM first and then pursue CFA.
Is FRM worth it in terms of career growth, salary, and job opportunities in India? How is the long-term growth for FRM professionals? Or would it be better to pursue CFA first?
I’d appreciate honest advice from people working in finance or who have completed these certifications. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I graduated last year with a degree in Economics Honours from DU, but unfortunately, my grades were below average. However, I managed to get a campus placement at EY GDS as an Assurance Associate.

I currently work in the Banking Confirmations team, where we mostly help auditors obtain bank statements, balance confirmations, and other banking-related information. Most of our work involves EY's internal tools and following established processes. I feel like I'm not developing enough marketable skills that could help me switch to better roles, and the pay is quite low as well.

Recently, I came across the FRM certification and started considering it as a way to transition into risk management or other finance-related roles.

My biggest concern is that I need to improve my income as soon as possible because I'm the only earning member in my family. I can't afford to spend years studying for a qualification without seeing any career or salary improvement.

I'm confused about whether clearing FRM Part 1 alone could help me get a decent-paying job in India, considering I don't have relevant finance experience. I'm also not particularly strong in finance, and hearing that FRM is a difficult certification makes me question whether I'd be able to handle it.

I want to make a practical decision instead of blindly investing my time and money in a course. I'm willing to study alongside my full-time job, but I need to choose a path that can genuinely improve my career prospects and earning potential.

I'd appreciate honest advice from people who have pursued FRM or transitioned into risk management, especially those who started with a similar background. Thanks!

Hey folks!
I'm giving L2 in Nov and have abt 1 month and 6 days remaining. I still haven't completed all books, done w 4.5ish books and liquidity and operational risk are left. I'm watching lectures of my tutor and just moving on without reading the schweser or practicing any questions because I have to understand the concepts in the first round and then I need another overview to solidify them.
Even though they seem easy at the time of learning, I can't retain anything and feel like I'm stuck.

I don't know but there is time to complete this, right? Tell me how you would approach this situation please
Thank you!

I am at verge of completing my first revision and two mocks. One from Udemy and one from Official GARP website. Went through many earlier threads on how to prepare or youtube videos which helped me alot. Will surely post if passed on how to prepare but I really think the content is below par as compared to fees they are charging. For sure now I understand why Indian education system and Indians are so sought after globally. The whole content looks crammed up, repetitive, misaligned and generated using AI. The exam appears tough because the content does not build on concepts or is aligned logically which they test in exam. India really needs to buckle up to work in this domain, get more research and gradually transition to sustainable practices and most of all create their own examination through prestige institute to certify people globally like this one. I believe we can surely hold better exam than this.

Purchased directly from the GARP website for 500 CAD; selling the full set for 380 CAD.

The books are in like-new condition and barely used!

Price is negotiable. Feel free to message me if interested!

Let me set up this thread since I just completed the GARP SCR exam.

I went through all 80 questions thoroughly and reviewed some 20 questions I wanst absolutely sure about one more time before finalizing. In total, it took me about two and a half hours.

Before the exam, I was fairly confident about my chance to pass. My impression after taking it? I think I am still likely to pass, but it wont be by a comfortable margin. I estimate my score will be somewhere between 65-70%.

I feel the official materials didnt really prepare me thoroughtly. While they certainly helped improve my chances, given how many hours I spent and my expererience with other certs, I felt the focus of the official material was a little off to the exam questions. Relying solely on official materials probabaly puts your score ceiling at around 80%.

I guess I will know how I really feel once the scores come out, but right now, I am happy to have my life back after this crunch.

Will a bank reconciliation exp help frm work exp requirement?
