Ask directly how the cost of transportation and accommodation will be handled and you'll be happy to work with them on scheduling the time that works for everyone. Or you are happy to do a Skype call. They should pay and they should be buying the ticket and making the hotel reservation in your name. Don't fall for getting reimbursed by them later.

I was taking it as he/she was interviewing for a position with Jones in a different city. As in possibly a succession plan. OP, can you clarify whether or not the interview is internal or external? If it’s internal and you are just flying to the town to meet with the current advisor, you know damn well the firm isn’t paying for that.

like

Is the new position with Jones? Or are you leaving for another firm?

I would assume that that's normal!! Do other companies pay for your flight and hotel?!

If you won’t make it at Jones you need to evaluate your ability to do the work necessary to succeed in the business. A firm is not going to be why you succeed or fail. It’s all based on effort and hard work. Maybe you’re interviewing for a different job? That would make more sense.

He’s not doing well.

Didn’t I hear that Jones was shedding FA’s like a dog in the desert?

@FA4 - Jones’ attrition rate for 2017 is around 7%. That is for everything - leaving for other firms, but also retirement, medical issues, etc. That is down from about 9.5% in 2016.
We lost about 275 advisors to the competition and of those only 80 were grossing more than $275k.
Not sure where you are located that you are seeing Jones advisors leaving, but in my Region we lost 1 to the competition in the last year and added 3 from competitors coming over to Jones. Including complete newbies, Jones is up by 875 advisors firm wide as of the end of September.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
