Any financial solutions advisors out there? Did any of you get a sign on bonus when you joined the company? How much?
Also, how is the culture/leadership at Merrill?
I was just offered an FSA position, but want to know what kind of workplace environment I am walking into.

No sign up bonus. Base salary of 60-85k. You can probably haggle pretty good since they need FSA’s. Expect good quarterly bonuses if you know what youre doing. Biggest negative is being dragged into banking stuff bc they are constantly short staffed. That really depends on the FCM and location though

I believe 75-85 is the approved range for the role so makes sense
