Any Financial Solutions Advisors out there? What is the pay like and how do you like your job?
I currently work as an Investment Solutions Rep at Fidelity making $55k plus about $12-15k in bonuses. A recruiter reached out about the FSA position and it sounds like a sizeable raise, but is it an enjoyable position? What exactly do you do? How difficult are the metrics?

Just left fsa role as well, salary was 74k plus bonus comp made up of new money, accounts, and advised retention. You’re a glorified banker selling consumer clients investment and consumer products. Cant touch the managed portfolios, all you can do is open and withdraw.

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong — I have had multiple people review my resume, cover letters, etc. It seems like it’s a decently hot market, and I’m just out here getting frustrated.
