Is this a good offer? I have one year self-employed advisory experience and have been offered an employed role with a $73,000 basic and a production bonus of 30% on new business production over 3.5 x salary and 15% on trail. Nominal annual bonus (I expected it to be less than $5,000).

I know I can earn more going self employed but it was too hard to make the standing start work so I want to get a few years experience under my belt before trying again.

For an employed role how does this sound?

That sounds about right. I started at W&R for 2 years basically solo. Reset with company that paid a base plus 10% until you hit an AUM that paid better at 60% payout than the base, then you went off salary. Salary was for up to 3 years as long as you showed growth year over year.
Some training and mentoring.

Since I couldn't bring anything with me it took almost the full 3 starting from scratch. I'm finishing my 6th year. Took 3 to bring in $10mm, then brought on $20mm over the next 2. Covid lockdown did slow me down a little because I'm best in front of a live group, or it would have been better.
For payout we get 50% below $10mm, 60% when we cross $10mm, 70% when we cross $20mm, then it goes up 1% for each $10mm after that.
We're in the Midwest, and niche is middle class people with pensions, so my numbers are not what they would be in other spaces, but I'm happy and love my client base.

So what’s your expected total comp and where are you located?

That is my total comp, located in a major city

Did EY Canada promote everyone a year early or something? I saw a couple of promotions on my LinkedIn that were 🤔 and then saw EY’s official post that they had the largest number of promotions ever.
