What's working for FINRA like?

Hi all,

Can anyone please tell me what working at FINRA is like? I know that it involves a lot of travel. How is the work life balance? Comp? Is the work interesting? Any advice would help.

Thanks
Vagabond

Vagabond83I think it also gives you a chance to make valuable contacts? Correct me if I'm wrong
You can make some contacts, sure, but there are far better ways of doing so.
