Hi, I work at merrill edge currently looking to pivot into the field of advising. I know merrill lynch has the new ADP program that is now MFSA (merrill financial solutions advisor) where they want you to build your book of business starting out with “warm leads”. I am unable to even post to that job in house until the end of next year. I’ve explored into companies like Edward Jones and am going through the process right now interviewing with them. Would Edward jones be a good place to start??

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per

recruiter had told me in the initial call the
pay could be 32-36 because of the other
benefits. If I do get a job offer what range
should I try for? I was really hoping to get
around the 36-40 but now I feel like they
may try to offer lower than what was
posted. Also there was no range but the
average for this position is upper 70s-90k.
Thanks for any help!
