Any cons to getting Series 7?

Are there any downsides to getting my Series 7 if my firm (MM boutique) is sponsoring me for it? I suppose I’d able to work on different types of deals but not sure what implications this will have further down the line. For context I am in a coverage group, not product, so it’s not mandatory I get it

Don’t really understand your question. I can’t think of any downsides to getting an additional license. It looks better on you, tbh.

If your firm is sponsoring it, why not?

I’m in coverage as well and my firm just got rid of the S7 requirement. Lowkey bummed as I would’ve liked to have it
