Got offered a job but it is contingent on passing the SIE and series 79 and 63 within 4 months. How do-able is this? Will I have a life outside or work and study?

You can do it but as VP1 said, you’ll be straight studying for the next 4 months. I took the 7 within about 5 weeks but I had really good training. The 63 was a bunch of memorization.

Doable but you will be studying all the time for it. It’s only 4 months!

The SIE and 63 were pretty easy. Took less than a month for both I think

Took me less than a month to do SIE and 79

79 and 63 took 2 weeks of study

I knew someone who lost her job when she passed the 7 on her first shot but then failed the 65. Fired on the spot. Bounced back with another firm but it was harsh. Maybe take the Sei before deciding…

Shouldn’t take you longer than 2 months with moderate studying

Okay so, its been a while since I've been seeing this in Linkedin:
The Job requirement says its Entry Level, but the experience it requires is always 6 year+... like how would a fresher match that.. should I've started coding at 6th grade or what?

I understand that it's a way of "SEO" in LinkedIn but it just discourages us freshies.

Actually not sure if this post belongs in this bowl but.. it is what it is?
P.s. I still apply to these because what's the worst that could happen... right?

Does anyone have any tips on certain job positions or companies where an LLM would prove to be useful with my background?

Could we get reimburse for taking the ITIL exam ?

So I used to work for a company where my job was good, was a director of business solutions for a fashion brand. Only issue was that the CFO micromanaged and ended up leaving. My background is digital transformation however I took an infrastructure position to rebuild a provincial healthcare system. I always lacked the hardware side and thought this was a good move but I feel like I’m losing my digital skills and don’t enjoy the work. I’m in it for 7 months now.

Why has real estate remained lucrative?
Mainly agents but also developers.

The barrier to entry is low, not even sure if graduating high school is needed. My old agent even said she did it bc she can make a lot money and not work that much. She drove a new Mercedes and sent her kids to private school, husband was also an agent.

So I’m curious why it didn’t get flooded and the profit margin dampened to a $/hr closer to other jobs with similarly easy entry?
