I don’t like my firm and trying to switch. I’m a licensed rep but not a FA, a 401k guy. Interviewers always ask why I am looking to leave. I try to explain the structure isn’t a good fit...

When I moved my play was that I wasn't unhappy, I just wanted to explore options because I think I can do better. You're not running away from your employer, you're running to a better opportunity

Doesnt make sense to me. It seems as if brokerages are FIGHTING each other over qualified candidates. Its almost like in the financial services field the firm sells themselves in an interview instead of the other way around

...without going negative on my employer. Bottom line: I’m not happy and want a change. Seems like you not only have to sell employers on your skills and expertise but also your reason for wanting to leave. Frustrating

Where you located?

That was my question. What area you from.

contact me asap. I will hire you, what is your email. NOT a joke.

Give me an email aaron.n.irving@ampf.com

I am always looking for 491k professionals...

Look, firm culture, independence, and happiness should play a part in where to land. Email me at david@fpwa.com. We have one of the most unique and compelling 401k platforms in the country in our hybrid RIA office. Would love to chat

marc.levin@opco.com email me you will not regret what we have to say. I can promise you.

Let's talk. Calvin.Rose@clearcapitalmanagement.com

OP, where are you located?

Pretty sure my firm would kill to have someone peddling our 401k!

OP - I talked to a group today that might be perfect for you. They are 401(k) Advisor focused and are growing really quickly (I have no affiliation with them). Contact Carrie at:

Cohm@riaadvisor.com

Wow. I'm a 401(k) specialist too. I didn't know my expertise was so highly sought-after.

IAR1 - If you can prospect, you’re always sought after

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

I work in a sucky IBM cic, making $54k. It’s a full time job with regular benefits and vacation etc, it’s working with government clients. The job isn’t what I applied for & constantly changes. I don’t like that, but I’m a full time employee which is “stable employment”. Btw, I’m in the DC area.
