Hi Puys,

Well I have been contemplating of quitting my current job and concentrating on scoring a good percentile in CAT in November 13 and clear CFA L2 next year.

What this would mean is a significant break of 8-9 months. Is this a good idea? I read that it can be lead to situation where interviewer would believe that you have not been able to multitask? Would it be a convincing argument that my break involved further studies not necessarily for CAT only and the fact that I had personal goals not career oriented to achieve?

PS - I have a total workex of 25 months(with a 10 month break in between due to personal reasons)
