FINRA Series 86/87 and Series 79

I've recently switched into investment banking from sell-side research. Does anyone know if I am able to hold both a Series 79 license and the 86/87? I do not intent to go back to Research but the exams were a pain in the ass and I'd prefer to never take them again just in case. Any thoughts?
