Anybody work as a Wealth Planner for Fidelity? How’s the compensation and is it as hamster wheel as the VPFC/FC roles?

the recurring income from your book is minimal for any advising role at Fidelity.

Curious, what do you mean by hampster wheel with the FC roles? Being held to targets? I’m currently at Fidelity and trying to figure out which direction I want to go within the company as well.

You never get to slow down. Most of the time people want to be wealth advisors because of the long term success and being able to work “when you want” and just service your clients with no more pressure to sell. You won’t have that as an FC as you will always be expected to sell and close new clients and come in to office on a set schedule not set by you. You can’t just build a book and sit on that book playing defense.

Comp is going to land you between 2-300k by my understanding once you are ready into if if you are doing a good job. Probably started around 150k or so. Large portion of this is through the internal shares program.

It’s not as much of a hamster wheel.

Nice, is there recurring revenue?

Typically an annual allocation of shares

a VP/FC you'll typically have a book around 300-500 clients WP you'll have around 150-200. You're strictly building off of referrals from your advisors. Base pay is nice, you get an annual bonus, and shares. There is certainly more upside in the VPFC role compared to WP. But your assumption is correct, less hamster wheel feels.

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?
