Full Criminal History Exposed and In Search of Guidance

My convictions: DUI, Driving without a License, 3 Counts of Misdemeanor possession. These charges are from 8-12 years ago.

I am trying to break into the investment banking, Asset Management, financial analyst industry. Will these convictions prevent me from doing so? Does anyone have experience good and bad with similar circumstances and background checks at banks, accounting firms, and so on? Will they rescind offers with these records? Does anyone have any experience being licensed by FINRA with similar charges? Please any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean OccultFinancier, not sure I understand? I know firms do background checks. I am looking for success and failure stories, precedent transactions, that can give me some basis for concern and action. I have been background checked before and still managed to get the job, but with IB or Asset Management I am not sure how it will go. I know they have stricter rules and bonding issues. Also, IB and Asset management typically require FINRA Licensing and after a brief call with them they couldn't tell me if they could license me or not, they said it is case by case.
