Coming up on 5 years as a phone-based advisor and trying to decide what to do from here. Money is good in my current role but i don’t have a book, same conversation over and over with no real end game. I love the idea of starting an RIA some day but obviously that would be easier with a substantial book. I am planning to sit for the CFP exam in March and make a move shortly after. I’m considering going to a new firm to build a book with the long term goal of trying to bring those clients with me

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking?

Is it just me or does it feel like everyone else is getting really good exit ops but for us visa folks, opportunities are extremely limited? Pretty discouraged and debating going back to home country...

I have 5 YOE (3 consulting, 2 industry) all within somewhat niche subject matter, as well as my MBA (non “prestigious” school however). Any thoughts or clarifying questions are welcome, TIA
