Love that you’re already diving in! SIE is a great start, and from there, think about the Series 63 or 65, especially if you’re leaning toward client-facing roles in wealth management. These companies looves certs, but they are HUGE in networking. What got me into GS was actually knowing a bunch of people in the sector I wanted in which was risk management, but you are on the right track just don't forget to get to know people.

Thank you! I actually had an internship offer for GS in college and decided to go consulting. I still know some people, but thought I should get the certs before I reach out

Series 63/65 or 66, too don't require sponsorship especially if you want to do wealth management.

Either do the 63/65 pairing or 66. Not necessary to do all.

Thank you!

If you're serious about wealth management, nothing beats the CFP. It's valued by clients, BDs and RIAs. It gives you the depth of education you need if you're a beginner. And it's the barrier to entry for many firms on the RIA side, planning roles at BDs and some large teams at BDs. It's a 1 to 1.5 year commitment depending on your life circumstances.

I'm based in NYC. The clients on my team are minimum 3 mil and upwards of 30 mil -- so the accredited investor/qualified purchaser threshold is there. All of this was the team building their book.

One guy on our team has an MBA and a CFP. Wealth management for some is a second career -- some come from IB, trading, etc. It's a nice designation to have, but it's not required to JOIN the industry.

I came from a very sales environment and it took me probably less than a year to realize that... wealth management has more to do with sales and networking. Clients don't think "wow you have your CFP, we must bring our accounts to you." They just think.. okay cool. But it's not the driving force that makes them choose you as their advisor.

A team left to Morgan Stanley and they managed 15 bil+ -- you can find it on advisorhub (if you're curious). None of them have their CFP.

If you want a salary job where all you do is planning, sure, CFP helps.

Have been discussing Neitzsche's Parable of a Madman in my English 10 class.

And in this parable, Nietzsche kindof admits/laments that this is a tough question for atheists to answer.
