Hi fishers, which offer should I go with?
EPAM Systems 19L + 2L jb (don't know for which client I'll be working for)
GE Healthcare 23L fixed but under third party payroll (Joulestowatts). FTE conversions can happens after 6 months. (I like the project here). And no gratuity.
Is it worth joining GE healthcare under third party payroll and how about conversion to Full time in GE, does anyone here know about this?
Tech stack: python, data science, backend
YOE: 3.6 CCTC: 12L

You’ll have a better chance of getting hired if you already have a license.
In this competitive market, I think you’d have a better chance of getting a job if you were already licensed. Employers may not want to hire you and then wait for you to get licensed if they bring you on.
Apply with us & we will pay for your licensing fees. Hell about 40% of the new hires lately get their license & bolt so its at least a cheep way to get licensed.
I have applied a couple times at Liberty Mutual and was rejected, I am currently licensed in 49 states. I think its more if they like you, also I think my age was a factor. Many companies prefer to hire younger people and mold them and pay for their licenses.
If you want to avoid laying out the money, apply without a license and see how it goes. It's conceivable you'll be taken on by a company that will subsidize the license. It stands to reason you'd be better positioned if you got the license first, but you might as well try to avoid the expense if it's an issue.

Its easier if you have a company sponsoring you, they pay for your study materials and usually 2 attempts to pass the exam. I passed mine on the first attempt. It depends on your specific circumstances, if you can afford to enroll with Kaplan or Pathfinder on your own do it,
I had an interview for an Annuity Call Center position which I do not have my Series 6 but have my SIE. I had a good screen and interview with feeling so good that I landed the job although found out they went with someone else with experience that matched more to the position. I am thinking the person already had their Series 6 and/or some experience working with Annuities.
If you are able to afford the licensing, I would take the coursework and the exam with keeping your paperwork so they can reimburse you if they reimburse.
I believe for the insurance licenses you have to go through and show you have had 40 hours of training at least to be able to take your exam.
By having your license(s) before getting an insurance job and really the same applies to any job that requires a license makes you just that more marketable which is why I took my SIE the end of 2024.
I am trying to break into either the financial world or insurance world although being unemployed since December makes it hard to afford to study for and gain the license(s) on my own.
