I've been at MS for 3 years and have 6 years of industry experience, originally started at EJ. Despite being a CFP, ChFC and working on my CLU I'm finding my business partner doesn't value my perspective or ways we can better serve our clients. He seems very protective and won't offer specificity on our partnership agreement and long-term vision. This seems like a common issue amongst wirehouse FAs. Curious if this is part of a larger trend others have experienced.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.

I’ve been in the industry for 23+ years, 16+ of those spent as a Producing Branch Manager. I hold S7, S63, S66, S24 and I’ve completed the education for the CFP (need to pass the exam). I excel in relationship building and providing exceptional service. I’ve only been on the full-service side for the past 2 years and my book of managed money is about $10M, with another $10M+ being self-directed by clients. I’d love to find an RIA job, what type of role would be suggested?
