Does anyone have any of the Series licenses? Are they really worth it? I passed SIE and Series 7 … going at the Series 66 again for a 3rd Time 🥴 and managers at my job want me to push through and get the 9/10 but I’m like man these test suck and they defeat me mentally. Now I’m asking if it will be worth it. Thoughts?

I only have my 6, 63 and 7, but the 7 was a bear. I agree, the studying is all-consuming and then the tests are a nightmare. That said, they *do* look damn good on a resume, and in many cases, can help you beat out other candidates just on that alone. If you've got the time and ambition, I say go for it.

I’m really trying to work through my own mental barriers around it… soo time consuming 🥴

I support teams that require them. It definitely opens the doors for different opportunities. It is a bear but if you want to continue this career path you’ll have way more opportunities. You got this OP!!!

My other 3 case interviews went well and I had great conversation with the partner for behavioral interview. Thoughts?
