Finra exceptions to statutory disqualification due to felony

Good luck getting hired anywhere with a felony on your record

Vehicular homicide....that's pretty serious. Good luck

How this comes across: "I hope this god damn murder conviction doesn't fuck with my banking prospects. Such bullshit.".

If I knew this was your attitude, I would never hire you even if I was 100% convinced the entire thing was an accident. I'm sure the family of the person(s) you killed aren't worried about your job prospects. I hope this is just a troll post.

Wait is this for real? A conviction for vehicular homicide is going to screw you just about anywhere, so you can probably forget consulting as well. I dont think I would trust the advice of someone who made such a poor choice in their own life that they caused the death of another individual.

I hope your joking...

Honestly - There are a million other kids out there looking to get into banking who are less risky to hire than you, so even if you were able to get an exemption from the regulatory authorities, no bank would take a chance on you.

How are you not in prison right now?

What did you do? Drunk driving?

hey troll,

1. is the sky blue?
2. are you fucked?

both have the same answer.

I think OP would be fine if worked in a foreign country until it's expunged from his record?

im not a troll, unfortunately this is for real. im very sorry for what happened and am very remorseful. my BAC was below .08 but im under 21 so they still consider you intoxicated, which meets the legal threshold for recklessness, which sustains a vehicle homicide conviction bc I was at fault in the accident. nothing intentional about this, which is why im not in jail. it was basically a underage DUI that ended in a horrible tragedy.

obviously I have to accept the consequences of all this. im just tryin to gauge my chances for a banking/consulting career i hav a very strong network in finance so that will help, but i still have to face facts. going foreign seems like a viable option at this point, the whole point of this thread was to see if anyone knew of someone who had received an exception from finra

Was wondering if Ted Kennedy was OP, but I guess that can't be the case...

Ok so the OP probably can't work in banking here in the US but can't he go to firms in Hong Kong, London, or Tokyo and work there?

How good are the background checks for banking overseas?

I get it. He killed people. But he said it was an accident so his entire IB career shouldn't be screwed by a one-time thing.

Robertche, we all make mistakes. Remember, no one is born into ideal circumstances and we all have things we have to overcome to achieve our goals. It is smart that you are looking at the path you would need to take to get into IBD. I know you feel terrible about the situation. Don't let it ruin your life. Life is short. Make this your attempt at greatness. "The kite flies highest against the wind," Winston Churchill. "Why not try," Victor Richards. If you get there, remember to give back.
