How do I find a good mentor in this industry? I’m having a really tough time lately. It would be great to talk to someone and get advice on things related to my career. I feel so lost lately.

OP I have the same problem. It’s on comfortable approaching other advisors I barely know and then asking them to take time out of their day to do something that doesn’t benefit them at all

Post here. What’s going on?

Don’t you work at Merrill where they have plenty of old advisors?

Ditto. I’m a solo and wish I could have a formal mentor that i didn’t feel like i was bothering

4 YOE in Federal consulting. Currently a C at $85K and just received a 5/5 performance review with super positive feedback from my team and leadership. Noted that I was the top performer and was doing stuff at a senior level.

How realistic would it be to break $100K+ in jumping elsewhere? Either at C/SC level. Might be a silly question but I want see others perspective. TIA!

There is a company that I want to apply to and I see opportunities on LinkedIn that interest me. I’m also working with a recruiter. It’s close to where I live and she knows where I live but she hasn’t recommended it. I’m guessing she doesn’t have a network with the company. Should I ask her to represent me or should I apply directly myself? What advice do you have? What are the pros and cons?
