Been in the financial services industry for seven years now, currently at Citi Private Bank as an associate banker and considering moving over to Fidelity for a financial consultant role.


Feel like Citi lowballed me on my base but at Fidelity my base and the additional comp they give is only guaranteed for the first year and after it drops to base and a variable structure but the potential to outpace my total comp at Citi I believe.

Any advice on a decision like this?

Do you mind sharing how much ABs are paid?

Problem is if you don’t hit your target at Fidelity you can also get fired (I know someone who left for another firm and after a couple of months he’s worried about getting laid off… kind of a tough spot)

All in with bonuses is around 150k. As an AB you are expected to bring in business as well and hit goals each year. The difference is that whatever you bring in your don’t get credit for. As an AB you are capped at a 10% bonus of your base.

I’ve been working at a rather prestigious midsized firm in a big city for almost a year and a half now. I have been having a lot of trouble picking up work from senior partners. We are required to bill at least 150 hours per month to meet our requirement. My months are typically only 110-130 hours. It seems like the senior partners already have their “go to” associate for things. Does anyone have any suggestions on how i can increase my workload? I reach out for work pretty much weekly.
