Full Criminal History Exposed and In Search of Guidance
My convictions: DUI, Driving without a License, 3 Counts of Misdemeanor possession. These charges are from 8-12 years ago.
I am trying to break into the investment banking, Asset Management, financial analyst industry. Will these convictions prevent me from doing so? Does anyone have experience good and bad with similar circumstances and background checks at banks, accounting firms, and so on? Will they rescind offers with these records? Does anyone have any experience being licensed by FINRA with similar charges? Please any and all info would be greatly appreciated.

Have you looked into expunging your record? It might cost a pretty penny but I would imagine you should be able to with offenses that old. If that were to occur my understanding is that you would not need to disclose any of them on future background checks.
This. In all firms I have worked for (rating agency, Asset Management and now IB Boutique) they done background checks on me. Besides, you do not want that kind of information available for someone to find on the internet.
What do you mean OccultFinancier, not sure I understand? I know firms do background checks. I am looking for success and failure stories, precedent transactions, that can give me some basis for concern and action. I have been background checked before and still managed to get the job, but with IB or Asset Management I am not sure how it will go. I know they have stricter rules and bonding issues. Also, IB and Asset management typically require FINRA Licensing and after a brief call with them they couldn't tell me if they could license me or not, they said it is case by case.
Exactly because of what you are saying. CFA, FINRA and BB's have strict policies regarding illegal activities. Yes, you do have a chance, just make sure this info isn't easily available.
