Just passed my SIE as a college sophomore what's the move now?
So I'm a sophomore in college and I just passed my SIE. Pretty excited about it but now I'm trying to figure out where to go from here. I know I want to do the Series 7 + Series 66 combo. I don't really want to just do the 65 I want the broker dealer side too so the 7/66 route makes more sense for what I'm trying to do long term.
I do have some internships lined up this year but none of them have the capacity to sponsor me for the 7. And honestly the internship search has been rough — I applied to a ton of places all of last year and barely got any interviews back. So I'm not exactly swimming in options.
My question is how do I actually get sponsored as a college student? Do I need to wait until I graduate or is there a way to make it happen while I'm still in school? Is cold emailing firms realistic or is that a waste of time?
Any advice from people who've been through this would mean a lot. Still trying to figure out how to navigate all of this early on.
