Hello! I need some real insight. I am currently being positioned to be apart of the primary team opening up a new branch for Regions. Only licensed currently offered is the Life which doesnt exactly assist in my lateral move of obtaining any of my Series licenses which they do not sponsor. I am currently in the interviewing process for JPM Chase that will sponsors the 6, 63, Life, and 7. Not sure what to look at to make the best decision. Any advice will be helpful. Thank you

By life do you mean your insurance license? Honestly, that won’t carry you anywhere later on in your career. Your series licenses are all that matter unless you only want to sell annuities and non variable insurance policies. The IB side is extremely hard to get into and insurance sales wouldn’t help with that. JPM will get you further along in your career.

Regions actually doesn’t sponsor for securities licensing on the retail level. I would have to go through their investment side which impossible as a banking associate. You would have to come in with everything. And I have no interest in the investment side at Regions because it’s stretch is minuscule compared to Chase which has a global footprint. It’s not only about experience, but also expertise in various industries; and I want to learn from the best.

Cont... I have faith that JPM Chase will be a great opportunity, but I hear good and bad in various aspects on the retail side. Ultimately I will like to get to the IB side. Some people keep telling me to just stick with Regions for the "promotion", get my life license. It will lock me in for another 12-months.

IB is for Investment Banker

Everyone has a different perspective on this but would love to hear yours. Someone has debt ranging say 4-5% interest rates. Do you attack debt more then investing to move towards a debt free life or do you go after investments since they return historically above that then paying down closer towards retirement. I know the latter looks better on paper but what about the psychological factors of being debt free and the guaranteed return on interest savings.
