If I work for the FINRA will I be stuck in compliance?
I got an offer fresh out of college for a “regulatory coordinator position” which the main responsibility is FOCUS report surveillance (which is a supposed financial report). It is a very nice offer, but I do not want to be pigeon-holed into compliance.
I would one day like to get into Investment Banking. I also have an offer from Thomson Reuters in their Consulting/Advisory services for Capital Markets Stock Surveillance, which requires watching the markets (a lot of technical analysis), but compensation is relatively poor.
I really do not want to be stuck doing compliance, but the FINRA seems like a good place to start especially with the compensation.
Since you will not be giving any bond, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), which is the largest non-governmental regulator for all securities firms doing business in the United States., will be an ideal place to learn work in a professional environment !!
