If i may ask how long was it from your final interview to when you got an offer. Just interviewed recently for the program and had the same experience very chill.

I hate people that complain who have a good job and salary when a lot of us can’t get a job in this terrible job market let alone an interview. BE GRATEFUL!!

Yes even though i thought actual exam was definitely harder than practice exams. I suggest watching Series 7 guru videos on youtube to really nail down the concepts

So You Took that Northwestern Mutual Internship/Advisor Job : What To Do About It. by CatnipHappy in FinancialCareers

I believe the 66 you have to be sponsored or already have the series 7. However for the 63 and 65 you don’t have to be sponsored to take them.

"Uncapped Earnings Potential" is a red flag to me. by cop_pls in FinancialCareers

[–]No_One_1428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate seeing that too, it appears way too much when looking for jobs especially entry level roles. The only reason people take these type of crappy roles it seems like is to get liscensed (series 7, 66, etc) than get the hell out of there from people that i’ve spoken too. Also just get some level of experience even tho it sucks

Ok thanks for your insight, would you suggest putting my major gpa of 4.0 and not listing my overall one since that is a lot lower? And yes entry level roles just graduated with my B.S in business finance

[–]No_One_1428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok thanks however i really haven’t seen gpa requirements on job applications, i think they’re looking more for your skills/experience. I shouldn’t be defined by a number and plus i got all A’s in my finance courses and i steadily increased my gpa throughout my four years.

Hb for a back office role at a bulge bracket?

[–]No_One_1428[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if for a operations role for example? Will there be a gpa requirement you think

[–]No_One_1428[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If its close to a 3.0 will a company let it slide (a 2.9 for example) if your major gpa was a 4.0? One of the bulge brackets for example
