Hi everyone! I’m a student at 2CEXAM, and today I’m here to chat about some common misconceptions in Hong Kong’s financial industry. As a newbie, I was once confused about these concepts, but thanks to the professional instructors at 2CEXAM, I’ve finally got it all figured out! Let’s see how many of these you’ve fallen for~
1. SFC membership? Doesn’t exist! π ββοΈ
β Misconception: SFC has a membership system β Fact: SFC doesn’t have members! They issue licenses, and license holders are called “licensed representatives” or “licensed corporations”
2. HKSI membership β license π€―
β Misconception: Becoming a Hong Kong Securities and Investment Institute (HKSI) member means you get a license β Fact: HKSI membership is mainly for event discounts, it’s not related to licensing at all!
3. Exam results β license πβ π«
β Misconception: Passing the HKSI exam equals getting a license β Fact: Passing the exam is just one of the conditions for applying for a license, other conditions are needed too
π‘ Tip: 2CEXAM’s professional courses not only help you pass the exam but also explain the entire license application process in detail!
4. Is the certificate really just decoration? π±
β Misconception: The certificate can be used to apply for a license β Fact: The certificate is indeed just decoration! You need the exam pass results to apply for a license, not the certificate itself
5. Licenses aren’t permanent π°οΈ
β Misconception: Once you get a license, it’s valid forever β Fact: The validity of the license is related to your employment status; it becomes invalid when you leave your job
6. Exam results are only valid for 3 years! β³
β Misconception: Exam results are valid forever β Fact: Exam pass results are only valid for 3 years as a condition for license application
π₯ Reminder: 2CEXAM’s courses are updated to follow market trends, ensuring you learn the most up-to-date and practical knowledge within the validity period!
7. Entering the industry β must take the exam first π€
β Misconception: You must take the exam before entering the industry β Fact: If you have resources or connections, you can enter the industry first and take the exam later
Tips π‘
- Consider carefully whether to enter the industry; competition is fierce, and the input-output ratio isn’t always high
- Resources and connections are sometimes more important than exam results
- 30 isn’t too late to switch careers; you can work in this industry until 70-90!
- Finding the right position for yourself is important, don’t blindly follow trends
