My end all be all goal right now is to eventually run my own private wealth management firm.
My question is though: Should I try to go straight into private wealth out of college and become a private wealth associate, or take a different route, and start as a base level financial advisor to get some general advisement background?

I think it would definitely accelerate your path to success if that's the route you take. Otherwise, you'll need to pivot at some point, which will take time and effort.

So try to go straight into private wealth?

I understand why someone may think going straight into private wealth is the best path, but honestly unless you already have family or a lot of close contacts in the industry it's really hard to accomplish right out of school. I'd seek general advisement work to start, build a network, get some experience, and then build your private firm.

I suggest you get some experience first. If you plan to start your own business, you need to have sufficient experience and knowledge first.

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
