I had an interview once where the manager spent most of the time talking about the problems in the store rather than the role itself.
Part of me appreciated the honesty. Another part wondered if it was a warning.
Have you ever had an interview where the employer accidentally revealed what the job would really be like?

Yep, and it came back to haunt me. If it sounds within possibility to change (w/ the right team), go for it. If they are having problems and don’t have a team, RUN.

I somewhat got this in my last interview. When I interviewed, they told me about all the problems that they had. I didn’t really care what it’s because I didn’t think I was gonna take the job. Once they gave me a nice deal I had to jump ship and I’m currently dealing with the headaches. It’s been over a year and a half.

I love managers like this 😂 You just know that the job is going to be FULL of drama, and sometimes I appreciate the excitement.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Thoughts on Wealth Management as an industry? Offered a role to work under a senior FA and eventually take over the book (~$800M AUM and growing). It sounds great, but I am worried about the disruption this industry is facing with Robo advisors and other low cost, DIY options. I’d want to make sure the clients stay through the transition, and I don’t want to join a dying industry. Thoughts and advice?
