I’m a financial advisor with jpmorgan and i verbally accepted a new job in private banking with another firm. This is my first time transferring licenses. Should i wait to give my two weeks notice until my new firms hr department clears me and gives me a start date or as soon as i sign the offer letter?

In my experience there is no two weeks notice if you’re leaving for a competitor. You tell them you’re leaving and you’re gone that day.

Not for advisors because you’ll be seen as competition at that point. The risk is that you could be writing down clients’ phone numbers to call at your new firm.

In my opinion, I would wait until you are fully cleared by your new firm and have a firm start date before you give notice. Highly unlikely anything would fall through since your old firm cleared you for your current licensed role but IF it did fall through and you gave notice early you would either be suddenly unemployed or in a very awkward position with your current employer. Once you have a firm start date (with a signed employment contract) and you know you are fully cleared by your new firms HR you could then give notice. Like another user said, usually they will have you return any company gear and leave within a day or so. If you leave on good terms many employers will just give you the two weeks pto from what I have seen. That being said, firms can rescind offers last minute for business reasons so I think its always best to know things are certain and safe before making the leap, especially if nothing is written on paper yet. Hope that helps

Usually start date is known when you sign the offer

I’m curious, why are you leaving? I just signed my offer to come onboard as PCA. Hoping I can get my business up and running in about 2 years.

Lots of favoritism in my market. Success really depends on how good the bankers are that refer to you. On average it takes the advisors in my market around 4/5 years to get off their draw. So hopefully you’re bringing a book with you from another firm. If so, two years is doable.

Depends on your start date, I accepted a verbal one week and contract a contract came the next week, you don’t give notice until you get the contract as it will state the start date and you can calculate the start date and notice period so that you either get a bit of a break between roles or you don’t lose out on pay.

Also as an adviser don’t you have a non compete for 3 months or notice period of 3 months (advisors I used to work with have a 3 month non compete/ notice period) where they are put on garden leave (paid but they can’t interact with clients for 3 months)?

I have a non solicit for 1 year, i can’t interfere with current clients at my prior firm.

As far as I know, there is no "two week notice" for financial advisors. The moment you let your boss know you're leaving, they shut down your access to all systems, so that you're not spending time moving clients.

They will make you leave immediately the best thing to do is play the system wait until a day or two before your actual start day to tell your current job most times they will make you leave immediately and pay out your two week pay and PTO this will allow you to have pay from old job while you’re already working the new job. 😎
