Anyone have experience with leaving Edward Jones and if they’ve come after you to try and sue? Not soliciting any clients obviously, but what other grounds do they have?

I can have a detailed conversation with you about this. Please reach out to me. David@thearcfirm.com.

I left, and have helped about a dozen other advisors leave. I can help you. Send me a message if you want to discuss further.

Just out of curiosity what level are you?

Left 5 years ago. Never had an issue.

Curious what the base and commission structure is for inside sales and associate director of sales in biotech (also anyone else who wants to share pls put industry). Paid hourly or salary? At the biotech company I work at avg inside sales is $62,632 with a $3500 per quarter cap. Commission structure is % based on sales quota reached vs capped (not a direct % of sales). I’m underpaid at $53000 with $3500 cap per quarter.

Married for 14 years with 5 kids. Since the start, my wife has had anger issues. She’s not violent, but will go on ‘anger benders’ for days where she cannot be kind to me, stonewalls, and even leaves. Sometimes this is based on a bad argument; most recently, it’s based in a story she conjured up and believes about me having an affair with my neighbor, even though it is 100% false and I’ve tried to show her that. Is this a sign of a personality disorder? Or something else? How can I support her?
