Having a CPA is very helpful for financial planning, I would still consider the CFP though. I’m actually interested in doing the same thing.

Seems like an awesome career. Great work life balance, good money (I think?), and you get to help people. Only thing is getting started with a good firm and getting clients. Not sure how long that’d take

I inadvertently stumbled into it out of public. It's a good area to be in. My title is still Senior but my Manager friends in audit make less than I do.

Thanks for your response! Do you find it to be a rewarding career? And are you at a small, RIA firm or a larger regional branch?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot recently. Seems like a great and not too off the wall jump

Yeah, know a few people that went to Morgan Stanley or Merrill Lynch

Thanks guys. Is a CFP usually required? I love the idea of being a financial advisor but building my own book doesn’t sound very appealing and not sure if having my CPA is helpful in that field

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

A good friend of mine graduated from Parsons this past summer, has degrees in Journalism and French, is a talented photographer and designer (which I feel I have a pretty decent eye for after working at a design-driven branding agency for half a decade).
