What’s the best way to find out if the firms in interviewing with are or are not apart of protocol and if they are non competes? Do you recommend I ask it in the interview process or not? And if so what’s the best way to ask?

I’m interviewing for a few starting out jobs to be an FA with Ed Jones, LPL credit union partnership, Morgan Stanley, ray jay, merrill

In the process of interviewing with several different firms. What should I be looking for that recruiters don’t say and doesn’t come up in interviews? For example, my current firm routinely has extremely long hold times for customer service so I’ll call their customer service lines to see how they compare.

interview with Edward jones next Mon w/ one of the local Advisors who’s also a recruiter. Any questions you recommend I should ask? I also have a business plan activity that I need to make that will pay out how I plan on bringing in business and what my day to day will look like. I’m in my mid 20s and am unsure if I am jumping into the advising game too early. I have been told by my peers I come off much older and mature than those my age and am ahead of the curve In experience. Thoughts?

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??

Currently a Wealth Advisor at Citi. Prospecting is easy, but company is impossible to get anything done and very frustrating. Just turned down Citizen's Bank, which I think was probably a mistake because it was a good offer. Currently interviewing with Santander Bank, Tiaa-creft, Charles Schwab, and Mariner Wealth. Anybody have any input to give before I jump on one of these deals?

Has anyone heard of The Colony Group? Are they a reputable RIA? I’m interviewing with them now and in a career switch so I want to make sure they’re reputable especially on the private wealth level.

Anyone familiar with Mariner’s Wealth? Have an interview for Wealth Advisor with them and hear they’re a pretty big RIA. Not sure what to expect….

Interview with Fidelity tomorrow for IC position, what can I expect and tips to do well. TIA

Hey all! I have an interview with Deloitte in
Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their
Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do). Is it the case here?
Thanks!

PM Interview questions for Lloyds Bank, any ideas?!

I went through two rounds of interviews for
a job that the posting stated $36.66 per
hour (FP&A Analyst)…the company
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!
