LLM graduate looking for securities regulation compliance jobs

I am recent LLM law graduate from NYU with interest in compliance jobs in financial markets industry. I have good understanding of different financial securities.

Would like to work in the compliance roles involving working with the SEC, FINRA, MSRB regulations etc...

What is a good introductory book to securities regulation to get a good overview without getting bogged down in too much detail and not a huge volume read?

Have some followup questions *Someone with law background and basic understanding of financial markets and regulations how to approach job search? * How would an interview be for entry level with this background? * Any recommended skills or certifications before applying jobs? * What kind of things to put in resume with this background? * Best material for series 7/63...Will familiarizing it helpful or just overkill? Is there any book that can explain these regulations easily? * Companies to apply? * Job roles to apply? * Once getting entry level job how to be further successful? * How would actual job and responsibilities be once obtaining the job?

Thanks all

Quo quaerat debitis et dolores nemo. Labore autem facilis incidunt et cupiditate magnam. Iusto explicabo magni in ut ut nobis.

Cupiditate rerum vero nisi. Consequatur rerum enim aliquid. Incidunt optio necessitatibus vero sit blanditiis.

Minus quasi accusantium deserunt nisi provident. Harum dolor nihil molestiae. Corrupti et ut quia molestiae rem est. Tempora ducimus sit voluptates neque et aut.
