Anyone have any idea how a role in Wealth management would be at Merrill Lynch? Just met the SVP randomly when I was picking up food, we started talking about cars and he gave me his contact info & said to reach out. Anyone have an idea on Junior level compensation (1-2 yoe) and what wlb would be like? Merrill Lynch

Your options are the FADP, which has less than a 5% “graduation” rate, or Client Associate. CA is a great way to learn the business as well as become licensed while you develop your plan going forward. I’d expect a base salary ~65k depending on location

SVP is a title for the FAs there so I would assume the role he would be willing to talk about is a client associate or a jr broker through their training program. Unfortunately the comp varies greatly depending on the role.

Sorry but I haven’t been there for a while and the pmd program is completely different from when I was running it for my office. I left merrill right as it was becoming a shit show and before the mass FA exodus.

I have heard really good things about them. I had a friend who worked there and she said the culture and wlb are great. She also said the benefits are good.

ML is known to be a hostile company they tolerate abuse from FAs to their CAs because ultimately the FA runs the show since theyre the ones bringing in the money. It is a good school to start your finance career if you have thick skin.

This is what I heard. I won’t be pursuing a role there, heard the company has been going downhill over the past few years

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
