Currently I’m at JP Morgan as a RB , getting my SIE, 6 and 63 but I just found out I’m unable to get the Series 7 unless the role requires it. I like that Fidelity has some positions are WFH. My question is should I stay with JP Morgan for a year ( don’t have to pay back my licenses) or just apply Financial Service Rep as Fidelity sponsors Series 7, 63 and CFP. I’ll be taking a pay cut Currently 73k salary including incentive at JP and Financial Rep at Fidelity 50-60k salary.

Work from home would be worth the pay cut for me, but I know that not everyone feels the same way. Also, if one of your goals is to get the Series 7, then it's a wise idea to go somewhere that you can make that happen.

Try not to jump a lot or too soon because it looks horrible on your U4.

I won't mind taking a pay cut if it's a wfh setup. Really depends on what you want right now. Go for the series 7 if that's what you are aiming for. Good luck!

Hi there. Ex Deloitte Sr Mgr here, currently in tech pre sales (SaaS / MarTech). Recently spoke to both Salesforce and Adobe recruiters for roles that I thought were lateral moves (Sr SA / Sr SC), therefore I did not proceed with the selection process. The recruiters from both companies told me they typically hire at that level, and people are considered for promotion to Principal in 1 to 2 years. I found that odd. Is that right? What’s the typical TC for SAs and SCs there? (15+ yrs exp).
