Any benefit from getting Series 7 on top of 79 & 63?

My firm is offering me the chance to take the Series 7 exam on top of the 79 & 63.

Just wondering if there is any benefit from obtaining the Series 7 from a career standpoint, or if it's a waste of time?

I also heard the Series 7 exam is way longer than that of the 79 & 63 so am a bit wary of the time required to study for this

I am headed into a traditional IBD role for reference (not S&T, where I understand the Series 7 is more commonplace there)

Would like your thoughts on this, thanks!
