Been working in 401k service about 8 years, looking to go indie as a consultant. Any FAs here partner with consultants or thoughts on my market, particularly in light of DOL rule?

I think there's been an overreaction amongst many of the advisors/firms I work with, as well as my own company. There seems to be less tangible change than we're led to believe, at least in the 401k realm. More cya paperwork for advisors probably, but huge opportunity for those not afraid of being a fiduciary.

I don't have much for you on the matter of working as a consultant, but am curious on your thoughts regarding the DOL rule.

Hi Folks,

I'm in negotiation with the this data company (which is only 10 % over offered fixed ctc) but HR hasn't shown much confidence. They have asked for week's time & say can only offer a signing bonus. I'm getting a bit nervous as it's an opportunity I've always wanted!

Am I panicking unnecessarily? Should I hold my nerve? Or should I break the logjam and just accept?

PS I had just joined another org because they were taking too long to process + my dream co is only matching current CTC.

This job is a lot better if you don't care about the bonus and hours requirement. I can pretty easily bill 1700 hours annually and my firm so far hasn't cared in the slightest. Worrying about hitting 2000 hours for the bonus used stress me out so much, and I just don't think it's worth it. Base salaries are ridiculous and way more than enough to finance my lifestyle.
