Having a hard time determining what to do with my career, I have a bachelors in marketing and years of sales experience in different roles from catering sales to bank referral sales. I want to get more into the financial field but find it hard to get a position in any companies as I am not licensed. Any suggestions on what to do? I am unable to obtain my licensing as of right now due to my position, but I am certain I can obtain them quickly upon hire.

It really depends what you want to do. If you want to be an advisor, there are companies out there that will sponsor your licenses. The process isn’t fast and you probably won’t make much money for a while, but long term it can be very good. If you’re looking for other finance careers, not sure what to tell you.

I would recommend looking for companies that will offer a path to advancement. The drawback being you’ll have to essentially start at the bottom. Consider leveraging the experience you do have as a point to show that you are committed and can excel when given the chance to do so.

You should be able to get yourself the SIE which is needed before you get the 7. You can do this on your own and it won’t have anything to do with your current position.
