Majority of Advisors fail out of the program and then the business you brought in goes to the advisors you worked under, so the fat keep getting fatter. That’s how it usually works at the wirehouses like Morgan and Merrill.

If you’re looking to own the business, Schwab or Fidelity is not where you should be looking, unless you’re looking to be independent and use them as custodians

RB transitioning to FA here.
I was on the same boat.

Are you fully licensed? 7/66
After a ton of research and many interviews (IC, FA, Private/premier banking), I chose to start the FSA role with BoA/Merrill. It’s a branch FA role where you are getting the referrals. Warm leads only, and fixed base pay (no drop-down at any rate). Commissions are paid on a % to goal basis..

It’s a great way to start building your own book without the anxiety of knowing each year your base Rate will drop. Glassdoor reviews for this tale had great feedback, and other member here thought it was a great place to start.

Good luck

Thank you so much for this I appreciate it. Also am fully licensed!

If you’ve never been an FA before but you’re licensed I’d shoot for the investment consultant role at Fidelity or Schwab or work under a team at an RIA and be their B!tch for a little while. You don’t want to go in a role where you’re expected to bring in a ton of business and you end up failing out, the odds are against you in those roles.

Wondering if it makes sense to apply for an Enterprise Architect (pre-sales) or a Senior Technical Architect role??

Also in terms of seniority and salary are these roles any different?

Reading posts here it seems as engineers in the US get's atleast $100k, people with 4-5 YOE in SWE seems to have ~$250K. Working in Sweden my base pay is $50k, bonus per year of $5k and I usually have to work overtime making my salary in total at a maximum $70k. I have 4 YOE and also work as SWE. Sweden has a insanely high tax rate (employee tax is 33% below 56k, 50% over $56k). There's also employers tax, and highly taxed fuels, food, clothes, which ends up in total paying around in 80% tax.
