Hello fishes, hoping to get some advice/insights. I have a masters in finance and 1YOE in retail banking. I have my FINRA S7, 63 as well as the SIE license. I have been trying to get a financial analyst position but with little luck. I am thinking of now broadening my scope to financial consulting. I do want to get my CFA at some point. Any advice as to companies I could apply, direction I should network, prep work required, etc would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Coming from a similar background, the licenses aren’t respected or utilized unless you’re working for a BD. I would look into financial analyst certifications, excel certs, etc

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Help - how do I fight claims by scammer healthcare providers?

I recently went to 2 different providers.

Dentist, made appt via Zocdoc to see a dentist that was in network. Another dentist at the location saw me instead who was out of network. I have text evidence they said it would be covered before visit. Claim was denied - asking for ~500 dollars.

Saw a specialist who’s office staff verified my insurance would fully cover the claim. Get the claim, says they are out of network. Owe 600.
