Compliance Personnel with Series 79?

I was reading through that Finance/Wall Street Wannabes topic and realized the guy in the youtube video doesn't have a single exam on brokercheck. Then I realized most of the guys at my compliance superdays that got offers also haven't passed any exams. Is it uncommon for compliance guys to have their 79 and 7? I feel kind of out of place studying alongside front office friends for these tests without actually being front office.
