Will passing the EIA as a college student make me stand out to WM firms?
I am currently a sophomore at a semi-target school pursing WM. I know that the SIE exam can be taken without sponsorship from a bank, unlike the series 7 and 66 exams. From those I have talked to thus far who work in WM at BB banks the interviews for the internship positions are almost strictly behavioral. Therefore, I am wondering if it is even worth spending money, time, and effort in purchasing and studying a course to try and pass the exam if the banks don't put much emphasis on applicants technical knowledge.
No, they're going to conditionally hire you based almost purely off of fit and qualitative considerations (assuming you got decent grades from a decent school) and then you'll take the exam while you sit on the contingent offer. IMO you'd be spinning your wheels to sit early for it, you'll get a look everywhere without it.
