An overview and explanation of the FINRA / NASD certifications was created by WSO super-user Frieds to help out those who are curious.
Seeing as there have been a few recent posts about the NASD/FINRA Licensing exams, I thought it would be prudent to discuss them with you guys, since most of you monkeys looking for full-time employment on the street will need to take them in some way, shape or form.
Very simply, the licensing exams are a necessity across the board for almost everything you do on the Sell-Side. If you work for a broker/dealer or for a firm that inventories their own assets you might need a license. If you're in sales and trading or do equity research, you will need it. If you're doing any sort of client interaction, you need it. If you're in banking, you'll need it.
While you won't need most of the exams offered, I'm going to cover the basics of what you will and will not need to know about these before you sit down to take them.
