Any tricks to keep series 7/86/87 licenses?
Anyone know any methods for keeping FINRA licenses?
I've heard that if you are not employed by a FINRA firm for two years, your licenses expire and you would need to retake all of them.
I'm working in a different industry at the moment, but would like to move back into equity research at some point down the line. Specifically, I'm working in a more startup-related role and would like the option to be able to easily move into internet equity research down the road if an opportunity comes up. Are there any positions that I could take on part time or work for a day in order to not let the licenses expire? Alternatively, could I take some continuing education test? Anyone have any experience avoiding having their licenses expire?
Thanks!
Keeping Series 7 When Leaving B/D (Originally Posted: 07/17/2017)
Guys,
I'm being recruited for a pretty nice gig in a consulting/analyst position for start ups and firms seeking VC money. I've already got my Series 7/66 under my belt while at my current position, but the role I'm being recruited for wouldn't have an immediate need for them. Seeing as how much work it takes to get those qualifications, is there any way I could avoid losing them after 24 months?
Ideally I could even find a way to incorporate those credentials into bringing value to the new firm, I'm just stuck on how that would be possible.
Any suggestions would be great!
Park it with a prop shop or go to a Genworth , LPL Financial, or Northwestern Mutual type of firm and see if they are willing to 'partner' with you. But realistically, the 7 isn't hard and you can show it has expired on your resume if you need to reenter banking.
