Accomplishments

I completed the SIE Exam, which is an exam that is becoming a requirement for most firms in our area of work. It is an exam that test an individual on the basic concepts of financial markets, law, and fiduciary responsibilities.

Learning experience

I would have to say the aspect of fundamental analysis using software. We learn how to do these things in class, but to actually apply it in the real world to a portfolio is crucial and very helpful. Also, sitting in on client meetings is also a great experience since I got to see how an advisor handles themselves and how they do business.

What advice would you give?

Take as much experience as you can as quick as you can. It is important to always be willing to adapt and learn as well because you never know what branch of financial planning you'll end up in.
