So I just passed the Series 65...

Series 65 info

And I passed the Series 63 last weekend. Now what? I've been studying for these two stupid exams in my free time for the past four months, and now that they've come and gone, I don't know what to do with myself. Start applying for jobs, maybe?

Anyone have a job lead with a finance firm in Seattle?

Cheers!
Nate

Well, sadly, I'd say work experience by a mile, but I haven't applied for any jobs in two years. I hate being so freaking busy.

do you need the 63 in washington? have you taken the 7 already?

I'm not sure, and no, I haven't. I have to go find a job with a securities firm before I can take the 7.
 
I have my 6, no desire whatsoever to get my 7 or anything beyond, as I hate finance, and my job for that matter. Working for the largest financial institution isn't all it's cracked up to be.

hah... thanks for the bump... actually just got home from work right now (1am NYC time). make sure finance is what you want to do before you jump in to it. working on wall st is cool and all, but if you don't like the work (and/or the people you work with), the 12-16 hour days will quickly wear you away.
 
There is a new "lawyers abroad" program I heard from one of my friends in law school.

However, most lawyers in the program end up at the bottom of the Pacific. 😀

Heh, see, that's my next step - actually talk to people who've worked on Wall St or in financial planning or anything of the sort and get advice from them.

That's what I'm worried about; to be honest, the theory is fun and the simple implementations, portfolio restructurings, etc are fun, but I've little to no clue what a person working in finance would do daily. I also realize that there are many, many different areas of finance, and so it seems a bit daunting to try and dip my toe in the waters.
