Good Morning,

I'm looking at transitioning into Financial Advising with Edward Jones, wanted to know if anyone can provide some REAL insight on what I may be getting into with the Financial Advisor role? Thank you and any feedback would be helpful. Also if there are any persons that can provide a referral I would greatly appreciate it.

Why? Money could be good but do you have a large network of freinds and family that are willing to buy now from you? That’s what will
Determine your success early on. Never been a FA , but considered it before getting into consulting. I have a ton of close friends in the business and you need to have some solid cash saved as your not making much the first few years and you’re busting your a** HARD. Will payoff- but it’s a lot of time and sacrifice prior

I’ve just went through a very tough interview process at a top BB - the hiring MD wants to call me tomorrow. Is this a good sign?

Additionally, I’m also recruiting for a top PE shop. If given the chance, I’d perhaps take the PE offer, but am afraid that if I receive an offer from the BB, it may expire before I finish the process at the PE shop.

How should I respond to a (hopeful) offer given by the BB tomorrow?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Eventually we (the CEO and I) shook at a $20k reduction on the understanding that they would pay for my gym membership as it’s my biggest expense, and I was upfront that it costs $4k a year.

Today they reneged on the gym element as they don’t offer that..
