A good place to gain regulatory experience.

Pros

FINRA is a good place to obtain regulatory experience. The work life balance is decent, though not as good as you'd think.

Cons

While the regulatory experience gained is valuable, many in management have little experience working in the private side of the industry.

Pros

It is a very laid-back atmosphere and the level of work is challenging. It can get somewhat monotonous with specific filings but overall very interesting work.

Cons

As mentioned above, can get a little boring because filing the same types of documents. However, each examination brings new types of transactions.
