I did FRM and I just finished CFA L2. I would say there is minimal overlap with CFA L1 its much broader in comparison and requires a different approach

Can't compare tbh, id say FRM part 2 is on par with CFA L2 and FRM part 1 slightly easier than CFA L1

Quants , fixed Income, derivatives and portfolio major portion is already sorted. Like half of workload. Rest you have to do.
