Moving out of my current industry and wanting to move into the wealth management space as a financial advisor for a large insurance firm (or something safer if something comes available). Please give me all the good, bad, and ugly! Want to know what I’m getting into to make the most informed and educated decision possible.

Also - friendly reminder to everyone reading that staying at a toxic job is not ever worth it. ❤️

I was an FA for several years. I learned a lot and made some amazing and valuable connections that have served me well throughout my career. There are good days and bad days, but if it's something that interests you and you're comfortable working with people, then wealth management can be a great option.

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
