I've always been curious about a career in financial planning/wealth management. I've got a few years of public accounting tax experience at mid-size (RSM, BDO, GT) and more recently Big 4 - how would you recommend making a transition? I've just applied to a Jr Investment Advisor Associate for a large firm in CA. The description seems like I'd be doing a lot of admin work. Would this be a good way to get a foot in the door?

How do you transition from big 4 consulting to big law? My clients are all funds, and I do international tax consulting. I have used my connections to refer me into probably 10 big law firms and it’s not working. One most recently came back and said they aren’t interested bc I have no law firm experience. How am I supposed to get it though? I can’t go to lower ranked firms bc my clients are all “big.” … any suggestions appreciated!

Revisiting Iron. Last month I mentioned Iron and derivatives had the right conditions to rise

BDRY went up 42%, and FSUGY 25%. With others seeing all times highs.

But we may be entering speculative territory.

The Baltic Dry points to alot of shipment in Iron's lanes so supply should be good, yet price is still going up, so not oversupplied.

Futures so high should point to shortages. Maybe due to Aus/China trade war.

In short: No idea whats going on, but there is money to be made

Recent lateral junior associate in brand new practice where I'm the only associate. I'm probably going to bill 1,500 hours max this year due to being very slow and taking time off for a delayed honeymoon which I disclosed during my interview process. I have been told my work product is good, I don't turn anything down, I participate in non-billable work, I'm responsive and I always let people know I'm available to help. Do I need to be worried about getting fired for low hours?
