You will be their slave but it can be interesting work. Just be expected to be on call during evenings and weekends.

It will really really really depend on the specific partners. Some partners are very impulsive, work on a whim and would have you treat every assignment as urgent ( even when the underlying need is not solidified yet). Others would be more pragmatic. Need to ensure to try to get a feeling for that during the interview

Currently a Wealth Advisor for Citi but I honestly hate it here with a passion it’s the worst company I’ve ever worked for in my life and I’ve been in Wealth Management in the banking channel for over a decade. Series 7, Series 63, Life, CFP, ChFC, and soon to have my MBA with a focus in Mergers & Acquisitions. I’m look to enter another area of Finance at this point instead of starting over somewhere else from scratch, but not sure what direction to go. Interested in Investment Banking or M&A.

Does anyone have any advice on how to shift from a specialist (paid advertising) to a more strategic (in digital marketing) role? I've been job searching for a couple of weeks and would love to be considered for roles outside paid advertising but it seems to be extra challenging this time of the year.
