Looking for career advice!!!
I was recently laid off and am now actively looking for a new job. I’d love to get some advice on career paths, companies you love working for, pretty much any advice you’d give to someone young and driven in this field. I’ve been in a financial advisor role working with affluent to high net worth clients for the last 5 1/2 years, hold my series 7, 66, insurance licenses. I’d be happy to share my resume and connect!

Not sure if I want to continue being an FA especially in the environment we are currently in. I was in a junior FA role and didn’t have any rights to my book. I didn’t intend to end up in financial services to begin with (I do love it) but definitely would love to hear what opportunities are out there aside from the traditional FA. I love more of the planning piece rather and growing relationships than hunting for clients.
