John Hancock, Voya, Principal, Empower. Team up w a wholesaler for each of those companies and they can teach you enough to get by. That being said, there are a lot of nuances with Advisory roles on ERISA and non-ERISA plans - if you mess them up or don’t know what you’re doing, you’re exposed to personal financial liability. I don’t recommend venturing into this space unless you’re well equipped....if not, partner with someone who does.

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago. An agency recruiter is trying to convince me to move into a GSVP account role, assuring me "at that level it's all strategy." (I dont think she understands the words she's using. Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
