Not sure if your willing to do it but you can move here to Houston. A homie was laid off his first post grad job (finance) a while back and is back at work and is still getting bites. He said all he does is upload his resume on Careerbuilder and they bite.
I see you made $60K, that will go a long way here.

Just want to thank NT fam. Appreciate all the help and encouragement.
Landed a job a week after my UE ended (although it's not the ideal role), juggling remote internships on the side, and trying to figure out a side hustle.

If u need an opportunity I can help you out bro. I'm doing financial services on the side and easily bringing in 3-5k a month PART TIME. You can obviously earn more full time if you want.

If OP is licensed which I would assume, his employment/education history would be public info ...

Fortunately, I wasn't licensed, so it's not a problem at all.

Tried to make the most of my situation. References have helped a lot in rebounding.
Glad to be somewhat back on my feet.

To my knowledge, if you have your Series licenses, your info is public and can be searched via FINRA Broker Check.
It shows previous employment history, if you have any records, etc.

If you were licensed maybe you wouldn't have been laid off in the first instance but ... glad you're back on your feet.

Ehhhhhhh. I dont think being licensed has done anything to help me keep my job over anyone else as of yet, nor has it been a determining factor in getting anyone fired. I will say that all of a sudden they're starting to add license requirements to like every job posting when it was never a requirement in the past.
I'm licensed cause I wanted to be, never felt like a need.

Big props to you for saving up. Don't stop searching for a new job. The moment you start getting too comfortable doing nothing is the moment you already failed.
