Do you need a Series 7 as a Investment Banker?

I'm in a internship in a Investment banking firm and my boss tells me that i need to first get clients so i am cold calling. What do you guys have to say about that? i really thought i was going to do analysts work like you know at merril or ubs, but i am cold calling so is what he said something that is true?

You know that's always been the secret behind Goldman Sachs. They have a team of a 100,000 Indian call-center workers in the basement of their NY headquarters cold-calling the entire Fortune 500 for advisory work. The exit opps of GS Telemarketing are excellent, so don't worry, you're getting great experience.

Ha. that's hilarious.
