Looking to get into a financial advisor role. Have my 7, 63, and 66. With the company I’m at now, I’m on track to get l there in about 5-7ish years (maybe). I know I could go to another firm and be an advisor. Not sure if anyone has any recommendations to get my foot in the door.

Have you really thought through what type of role you want to be in? There are many different types of advisor roles that require different skill sets, hours, personalities. Some are basically entrepreneurs/business owners. They are responsible to make sure their business is run properly, to find their clients, and they only get paid based on what they produce. That takes someone who is very driven and has a good network established that they can call on. Others are more like employees of a much larger firm. They tend to be fed some clients but may be asked to find more. They might be paid salary plus bonuses or they might be on a grid. These people typically don’t make as much on the higher end since they have less overall responsibility to the success of the company. I would encourage you to think about what business model fits your personality. Are you a lone wolf, do you want to be part of a team, will you buy a book or grow it organically…? Answering those questions will help you narrow the types of companies you should look at. Best of luck!

Fidelity and Schwab are great places to get your start

Leave and go to JPMC.

Are you wanting to work for a B/D or RIA? I can probably refer you if you want to do the ladder

Hi, I'm an employee at a hotel chain who works remotely. I've been working remotely for over a year now and I love it! The company I work for is very supportive of remote workers, which is great.

But there's one thing that's been bothering me: it's hard to get feedback on my work when I'm not in the office. It would be great if there was some kind of system that let me know how my performance was being evaluated while I'm working on projects from home.

Do you think what I am looking for is reasonable?

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
