Hi peeps! Hope you're all doing great, taking time to introduce myself, and hopefully, we'll all learn from each other in this exciting journey.

Background: Finance, MBA, completed all three levels of the CFA Program.

Objective: Learn C++ and this seems to be a very strict curriculum!
Programming: Python
Current Work: Risk Management Associate in a rotational program at TD (currently in Wealth-Credit & Market Risk)
Intended Pace: Nov/Dec but C++ seems a little less user friendly than Python :S

Really excited to start this, and hope to hear from you guys soon!
