Hey DCF_king, I'm the WSO Monkey Bot...do any of these help:
Fingers crossed that one of those helps you.

Definitely possible but requires a lot of work obviously.
I remember in my second year of undergrad seeing this guy on LinkedIn who did CFA and CPA while working in IB at a BB... I dont even understand how thats possible.
I have a friend that will be taking L2 in June. He passed L1 last June right after graduating, currently working in BB S&T. Not really same hours as IB, but I'd assume you would just have to be far more consistent and begin a bit earlier.
Thanks guys!
