Good morning all!
I am looking to get into stockbroking and would like any advice that people on the forum could offer.
A little bit about myself:
I have recently graduated from the University of York with a 2:1 in History. I decided to go to uni to improve my career prospects. All my previous work experience has been in sales and I believe that this work experience, along with now having a degree, would make stockbroking both a rewarding, and realistic career option.
At the start of my search for work I applied for multiple vacancies and was surprised with the positive response I had. I was offered a position at CMB Capital but after doing some research I noticed it was an unregistered firm. They promised to sponsor me to take the exams required to work unsupervised. Naturally, I am highly sceptical that they would provide this training. Regardless, I am completely unwilling to work for anyone who flagrantly rips people off and refused their offer.
Are all unregistered firms bad news? The problem that I have is that I have no stockbroking experience and no real contacts in stockbroking. If anyone could offer advice or help I would be most grateful.
I'm currently looking for a position in London.
Thank you!
