Def not

Why not?

It was worth it for a year to get a large discount on my CFP Coursework. But I won't renew.

Oh that's a good idea

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!

Would love some recommendations so that I can brush up in these areas and feel less like an imposter.

ADVISOR FUEL - BEWARE OF THEM

I've an extremely unpleasant experience with this company. We sent them a legal notice and my lawyer even lodged a compliant with the Florida Attorney General but in vein. These people don't bother about legal notices as they know most advisors don't have time and wherewithal to go to litigation.

Due to limitation of space I can't write in detail, but please contact me if you like to know my entire experience with ADVISOR FUEL. Don't fall prey to their tactics.
