Has anyone done the financial advisor program at Morgan Stanley? The hiring manager is offering me to work with a senior advisor during the program also. Does this sound too good to be true?

I'm in the program. Not too good to be true. Most need to work with a senior advisor if they want to make it through. Some branches/complexes are much better than others. If they are pairing you up from the start that can be a blessing. But just don't get stuck doing all that advisor's grunt work without him committing to keeping you in tier. I've heard people recommend getting an agreement in writing if you are partnering or teaming with a senior FA.

Hi Fishes,
I have overall experience of 5yrs. Out of which 3years for US healthcare and 2 years for US mortgage. US mortgage domain has now become thinner as industry almost sunk since most of the companies has laid off employees, I was also the victim. Fortunately, got an opportunity to work Optum but heard rumours about the lay-off in our entire process which is creating a frustration and negativity all around. Please refer me if there's any relevant opening in backhend operations. Thanks!

I feel like asking the owner for measurements is an up hill battle. I work for a sign shop. A lot of times I’ll be giving a number by “whatever”. For example 4’ by whatever. I work remotely, clients don’t give the owner measurements and he rarely asks. I keep asking but he repeats the partial measurements adding “just” in front it. It’s frustrating.

Accepted an offer of employment with a mid-sized firm to begin in a couple of months. I’ve always wanted to shoot for big law but haven’t had the opportunity thus far.

Would it be an issue to shoot for a big law opportunity in the interim? I know how this looks and sounds, so I definitely don’t want to set a precedent that I deal in bad faith.
