Question for Private Wealth Mangers, I have my s65 and 66. My company won’t pay for my s7 and I want it to do more then just financial planning. I’m worried companies won’t take me seriously if I start applying elsewhere and I don’t have my s7. Any help / advice would be appreciated!

The FINRA exams aren’t a big deal, if a company wants to hire you they will. The time and money to get the series 7 is negligible

I think the fact that you’re willing and want to will help you. A lot of people don’t want to have to test. It’s not a big deal for most companies that require it, they’ll give you time and understand if you didn’t need it in your previous firm. It doesn’t make sense for your firm to carry it if you don’t need it.

This is a repeat of my previous answer

You need the 7 to get the job, and you need the job to get the 7. It's BS but you having your 66 shows initiative. Big firms are more likely to sponsor you though

like

They’ll give you 90 days post hire to get the 7. Don’t fret

Just pay to get your 7. It’s not that expensive at all

Bummer. Sorry. But I think having the other series exams under your belt would look good! 🤷‍♂️

Cant you do the SIE without sponsorship?

Yes. Sign up now. Take the test Monday. Good luck!

I need some insight. Just had a phone interview for a management job in healthcare. I felt comfortable and felt like the interview went well. I ask questions and the ACNO said that I asked great questions. They said that they had other interviews to do as well but said the next step is to bring me in for an on-site interview (I live 1,000 miles away) and that the recruiter would be reaching out. Thoughts? I’m going to drive myself crazy analyzing everything.
