I’ve been working as a mortgage loan officer for 4 years now. It was my first job out of college that has quickly turned into a career. I’m money motivated, but I’m feeling burnt out by the lack of growth and challenge in the job. I’ve considered getting into financial planning or consulting, but struggle with the significant decrease to income for the first years building a BOB. Does anyone have any recommendations or entry level roles with a higher pay? I’m a driven, young female. TIA!

Whats ur income now? If it’s over 150k I would recommend waiting as changing careers during a down economy is very risky.

What income do you think is reasonable?

You can definitely get a role with a base of 40k and commissions in financial planning sales. Look into roles at Fidelity or a wealth management firm.

Look into getting licensed to become a more attractive applicant.

I don't think you'll hit 150k though unless you build it over the years. But once you're in the industry, you can jump to tons of different firms

Have you looked into mortgage correspondence? Just like sales but as loan officer and originator you should be able to make jump. Many reps clear nice incomes.

I feel like every company lies about “working your way up.” You’re never allowed to blatantly say that you don’t like your position and you’d like to transition to HR or Finance. It’s almost as if once you get in claims, you’re stuck.

If you’re a manager and you see an employee that wants to branch out into a different department, why would you keep them boxed in for 2+ years?
