Do you have to take the SIE before the series 7. My job bought me the series 7 books and I started studying but I am finding out I need to take the SIE first or does it matter?

M1 is incorrect. I took the series 7 before the SIE, they are co-requisites. My Series 7 books came before SIE so I started studying for that since I was on a ticking clock

like

I had 2 weeks to study for the SIE, 4 weeks for the 7, 6 weeks for the 66 (longer for the 66 bc of Christmas holidays). It was a crunch, but doable!

I think you’re better off taking the SIE first. It’s a general industry overview that is a pre-req to most other licenses. You’ll have an easier time with the 7 if you have mastered the information in the SIE books

You have to take the SIE first then you can take what they call a topper which in your case would be the Series 7. Happy Studying 😊

They are co-requisites. You have to have the SIE for your 7 to be valid, but any order is fine. Get your own study guide- office should provide it. Taking the SIE first makes the most sense. The 7 builds on and deepens the information learned in the SIE.

Any advice on shifting from association law to commercial real estate in FL?

I've been applying to jobs for months but every position wants at least 2yrs of experience in real estate transactions, usually way more. I'm at 1yr+ doing HOA/condo work but have had no opportunity to do real estate transactions like I expected. Seems like the only way to get the experience is to have nailed a big law gig right out of school and get put into that practice.

If you start as a Program Manager, how/when do you begin to advise people as a people lead? I’ve heard Program Managers are not people leads.
