FINRA License Background Check

I interviewed at a BB for an ER associate job and I just had to sign a release so that they can conduct b/g check on my FINRA registration. Does it matter that I previously failed a series exam? Will they ding you for that? How long does this type of b/g check take?

Didn't see any other threads on this so hopefully answers will help people like me in the future. Thanks.

 

I think its an issue for brokers and advisers. Those who fail the exam seem to be more likely to have discipline problems down the road. I'm not sure if that logic is extended to the roles you applied for. I hope it doesn't cause you too much trouble.
