Edmundo BravermanDown's Syndrome is a good start, apparently.

ok eddie, if you're going to be an asshole i recommend you get back on the sauce and start writing some decent bonus bananas. i doubt english is this guy's first language, unless you mean that FINRA is a bunch of retards, in which i wholeheartedly agree.

as for working with FINRA, it's like most civil service jobs, they open when someone dies or is paid off by a private company for their connections. i'd start with informational interviews with current employees and get in touch with independent ria's and b/d's who have experienced audits and such.

LMAO. Yes, I was referring to FINRA and not the OP.

Desire to work at Finra. Finra doesn't do shit.

WalMartShopperas for working with FINRA, it's like most civil service jobs, they open when someone dies or is paid off by a private company for their connections.

Incorrect. Finra is not a government agency.

when i say you are 'like' a douchebag, i'm not saying you are necessarily a physical bag of douche. i'm saying it's a regulatory body that operates similar to the bureaucratic nonsense that is the SEC or other government entities.
