Its important to know you need to be sponsored to take this exam. You can do the SIE by yourself, but you need to get hired somewhere to sit for the series 7.

If you have an idea of something you want me to cover in depth, please let me know because I take your requests seriously. Will be back with more CFA Exam tips in a couple of weeks so please submit more questions you would like to hear answered. Love you all!

I just passed the 7 top off on Tuesday. This video is perfect timing. Started in customer support and took the SIE on my own to show my firm I was serious about moving up. I am studying for the 66 now and then will start on the 24

Took the 7 earlier this month and taking the 63 tomorrow. Watched a few of your other videos this weekend too and I, presumably others as well, appreciate your honesty and direction. Helps a lot! Subscribed!

This is fantastic, thanks for taking time to make this video

[akotofiq]

it would be great if you also make a video about how to land job in one of these areas: venture capital, hedge fund, or asset management.

I noted series 6, 7 requires sponsorship

[sherylpierson]

how would I go about taking the test? I'm in NY state

Hi Aj- Taking the CFP in a few weeks. Dropped a resume and got a bite, but not having the Series 6 already was a barrier. I am career changing from mtg, and don't have a sponsor. I'll need to get my hours to get the CFP once I pass. Any advice you could give me is greatly appreciated. I am going to look for those Client Services roles and para-planners in my future job searches. Just fishing for anything more specific to my situation. Of course I am laser focused on studying to pass the CFP first. Thanks again

I self taught myself economics and I am getting sponsored through fidelity to take the 7 and 63. Unfortunately I have no schooling pertaining to this. Are my hopes as a financial advisor dashed?

[znom]

Is T.Rowe Price a good firm to get started with? They are sponsoring the Series 7 + 66 and it seems like there are good outlooks in terms of job mobility. Curious to hear from someone with more experience, thanks

[juliebrenman]

I am looking to perhaps make a career change and need some advice; specifically on how long does it take to eventually start making money beyond the base salary? I have an MBA and have worked for a number of years in management. thnx.

Hello,
I have a question.
Is it ANY other way, or trick, in how to get SPONSORED to take the Series 6 or 7 without me working for a financial institution? I am very interested and want very much to get licensed, but I do not have the sponsorship available. Is there ANY way I can find a loop hole around it??? Or something I can do to expedite the sponsorship. I have studied and I’m ready.

Hi AJ, Thanks for the great video, for someone with 10 years of experience working in the art market (alternative asset) with a degree in art history, with the goal to start an art investment fund one day. Does SIE and series 7 offer any value? Or would you recommend CFA?

[shortstuff]

Question. I graduated college with business admin bachelor's degree years ago(5yr).

I've been stuck as an insurance sales agent, claims adjuster etc.

I've been thinking of pursuing a different path, but have zero knowledge in this field.
If I was to make a switch so you recommend me to take the series 7 test first? Or apply for some entry level finance role and grow within

Thanks for the video definitely sounds interesting and something I'd like, but just don't want to make any major career mistakes

Hi everyone, I couldn’t find instagram of author video. Please advice school where I can obtain Finra 7, 66 series

[JiibarO]

Is it still worth it to get an S7 license and start in the financial industry?

[RevCashLewis]

Im licensed 2-15. Want to get additional licensing to have my own agency. Which Series would be best to give full stock for variable annuities and more marketable to sell in other states? Also, can you recommend best prep courses?

[henryrothman]

I have to pass the Series 7 & 66 within 3 months is that reasonable? And is the SIE the only pre requisite to sit for the Series 7? Thanks for the help and great video!

[BadWeatherfreak]

What would recomended for someone new trying to get in the finance industry?
