The silver lining is that now with the money firms will be saving by not offering huge recruitment bonuses they can spend that on improving the lot of their current Advisors!

Whats broker protocol?

Prudential - a protocol enacted in 2004 governing what info advisors can take when they leave broker dealers. They implemented it because firms were suing advisors and their new firms

So by exiting broker protocol means the advisor can take client info and not fear being sued?

No. Now it’s back to the Wild West and law suits

They’re trying to retain talent

They essentially saying if you leave it is their client and they will see you in court. Not good for industry in my opinion.

Trying to prevent churning probably...?

Prudential... nothing to do with it brother (or sister)

Retention

Jones has never even been part of the protocol, and people leave and take their books all the time!

WH brokers are usually so brainwashed they are enjoying getting screwed.

FA1 can you clarify what you mean by that?

Do you mean their compensation?

I am finishing up a project and I’m trying to document what I’ve done for my resume. What are some good metrics for someone who mainly created user stories, created dashboards, interacted with the client and developed statistical models? One of my dashboards got deployed to production but it’s to early to see the impact. My other dashboards are almost done but I’m moving on to something else.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
